Kevin-
you can use a filemaker script to do this as follows:

create a calculation field "body.calc" with the following calculation:

If(Right(body, 2) = ":,", Left(body, Length(body) - 1), body)

then either use the body.calc field to display your information or set up a script to replace data in the body field with a calculated result based on the same calculation.


I have a field in a FM database called "Body". It tends to collect text that
has ":," (I've added the quotes).

I want to clean it up so that everytime it has ":," that it is replaced with
only ":"

This field might have this occurring in it 5 or 6 times. Any insights as to
a quick clean up are much appreciated!


Kevin
