I don't think Tyron wants to replace but wants to capture the text appearing
after the string "Street Address: " which is why the best way to do that is
to take a SUBSTR() using the output of STRSTR() + LENGTH("Street Address :
") as the starting character position for taking the SUBSTR value of that
field. The end character position would depend on how the rest of his data
is structured in that field. For e.g. if after "Street Address : " if he has
"City : " then the start character position of City minus 1 or 2 would be a
good one..Joe -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Thad K Esser Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 12:10 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Question: Finding Text ** Based on what you said about the text always starting with "Street Address:", you could also use something like: ztmpfield = LTRIM(REPLACE($AddressField$,"Street Address:","")) Takes care of it without any other string manipulations. Or since you know the text "Street Address:" is always going to be 15 characters, and always going to be at the beginning of the string you could do: ztmpfield = LTRIM(SUBSTR($AddressField$,15)) The LTRIM clears any whitespace that might show up between the colon and the start of the data. It might not be necessary depending on what is generating this (i.e., whether or not you know it will be there).

Then do what you want to do with that.. Let me know if that helped - or if you require any further help using a combination of these functions..

Can I some how grab that and place it in a temporary field? THANKS!

If you have a way to identify the text yes there are ways with the available functions in Remedy to do what you want.

The text I am looking for will not necessarily be in the same place all the time and may not be the same length all the time. Is this possible? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
