Hi, I have created 2 forms 1 display only form containing a field(desc) to store string "INC000123, INC000456, INC000789, INC05" ,a temp field(temp) and another regular form to store the incident tickets. 1.Created alink Alink1 with actions a.Set desc=$default$ b.Set temp=STRSTR($desc$, ",") c.callguide AlinkGuide AlinkGuide: 1. Label "Start" 2. Call alink Alink2 if 'temp' != "-1" i. Push in form 2 incno= SUBSTR($desc$, 0, $temp$ - 1) ii.Set desc=SUBSTR($desc$, $temp$ + 1, LENGTH($desc$)) iii.

Re: Extracting substring from string and putting the value in different field
Have you tried using LEFTC function in set field action???.it will extract substrings and u can set into different field.

Re: Extracting substring from string and putting the value in different field
This would be a situation where I would use the arfPerl plugin (but that is just me) as a simple split would take care of this. In pure ARS you could do it in a single filter that is called multiple times (in a Guide using goto label). While the number of entries may be dynamic the actual length of an incident ID is always the same. In pseudo code it would be something like this: Filter Run-If temp_Inbound_String != $NULL$ Action 1Field_10 = Field_9 Action 2Field_9 = Field_8 Action 3Field_8 = Field_7 Action 4Field_7 = Field_6 Action 5Field_6 = Field_5 Action 6Field_5 = Field_4 Action 7Field_4 = Field_3 Action 8Field_3 = Field_2 Action 9Field_2 = Field_1 Action 10 Field_1 = LEFT( $temp_Inbound_String$, 9) Action 11 temp_Inbound_String = LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTR($temp_Inbound_String$+" ", 10))) Action 12 goto start of guide label The Filter Guide would be a start label and the filter to do the split.

So you will always have four Incidents that you have to parse to pass to four specific fields? If so, you can do four different Set Fields on the same AL/Filter with different SUBSTRING values pulling each Incident out based on the start and stop values of the SUBSTRING function on the TMP_field.
