A text function that does not work…
Hi
I try to extract the word "Ara" from a list of compound words where it is contained :
Blue Ara
Ara macaw
Red Ara
…
I found that in the Ninox notice :
"Converts any value to a string representation possibly reflecting the format option of its field settings. If there’s no value, the result will be the empty string: "".
text("Hello") => "Hello"
So I tried that text funtion :
text("Ara")
But it does not work.
Can someone help me ?
Thanks

The text function only converts a field into text. So if you have a number field you can convert it into a text string.
You can do something like this:
let xtest := index(Text, "Ara"); <---find the position where the text Ara starts
if xtest > -1 then <--checks to make sure we only pull data out of fields that have Ara in it
substr(Text, xtest, 3) <--pulls out a string from the field called Text starting that point set in xtest and going out 3 spaces since we know Ara is 3 letters long

Thank you Fred
Do I have to create a button linked to this function ?

Anyway I typed that script in a formula field and I have this mention :
"a column has not been found Text on the line 1, column 23"

look at the substr formula. do you have a field called Text? if you don't, then what do you need to put there?
