Re: Splitting of a string
Frans, If you only want to convert the string into a format that the email engine can use to send to multiple recipients, have you tried the REPLACE() function? Set Fields with something likeREPLACE($FieldName$, ;, |) *For this email I used the pipe symbol (|) in place of a return.

Re: Splitting of a string
Check out the REPLACE function. You may be able to replace the ; with cr without having to parse out the string. To enter the CR, you will need to open the expand box for the text, so in the box, the replace command would look like: REPLACE($EMAIL_ADDRESS_STRING$, ;, note the last double quote is on the next line.

Re: Splitting of a string
Hi, The CR in REPLACE may cause a problem, as it typically adds a SPACE after the CR. It looks right when you save the filter, but when you reopen it, the space is there. This may have been changed in newer releases of the ARSystem. One way to fix this would be to do something like this: Alternative 1. REPLACE($FieldName$, ;, LEFT( , 1)) Alternative 2. REPLACE(REPLACE($FieldName$, ;, xyzzy xyzzy), xyzzy, ) Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se Products from RRR Scandinavia: * RRR|License - Not enough Remedy licenses?
