I'm using MapInfo Pro Version 6.0. Have looked at all the label string functions as hoped to use the first space in the string as a delimiter, but no joy Does anyone have any bright ideas ?

RE: [MI-L] Creating Labels using Space as a delimiter....
Try: Left$(MyColumn, InStr(1, MyColumn, )-1) In this instance, InStr() returns the position of the first space character. Subtract 1 from this to exclude the space itself in the label.

RE: [MI-L] Creating Labels using Space as a delimiter....
here ya go, this should werk... # Left$(YOURFIELD, InStr(1, YOURFIELD+ , )-1) # the YOURFIELD+ is in case your field value doesn't have a space in one of them so it won't return zero on the instr command, it'll give back 1 greater than the len of the string. btw, there's no smith st in smithfield, and only 5 suburbs have a 27 smith st in them. plus, stay away from smithfield, land of Fubu Maternity-wear, ick :) ash -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Gosbell Sent: Monday, 16 January 2006 3:36 PM To: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: [MI-L] Creating Labels using Space as a delimiter Howdy, I have a field containing formatted street address (eg 27a Smith St, Smithfield ) and I want to create a label displaying just the house number (eg 27a).
