otuatail Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi not sure if this will work, but I am trying to pulll an email address from a table. because some emails are very long they mess up my table layout. I can use left(Email,14) as EmailShort to cut it down. If I could break it at the @ sign I could have the email on wrapped. is there a command that can get this Desmond.

mrmitch Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Just add in the INSTR() function to find the index of the @ symbol on each row. left(Email,INSTR(Email,'@')) same as doing INSTR(Email,'@') as index, left(Email, index) as EmailShort Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmitch Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 You could also use LOCATE() Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
