Softpro Users Group Forums: ProDesign Question

Message

   I have a ProDesign issue. I am trying to make a statement true if 
notempty (%1) & (%1) = ("A mortgage to secure an original principal indebtedness")

This works, of course, if I have a requirement that just states "A mortgage to secure an original principal indebtedness" but if I change the requirement to "A mortgage to secure an original principal indebtedness test test" it does NOT work which I expected. Somehow I need to get a wildcard in that string but I couldn't figure that part out.

Thanks for any suggestions!

	Hi Jim, So I'm here on Saturday too.. Substring comes to mind, You should be able to use something like this notempty(%1) & SubStr(%1,1,34) = ("First 34 Characters of your string") Note: I'm not positive if SubStr starts indexing with 0 or 1 DanV Dayton, Ohio

	Thanks Dan! That was the avenue I was exploring when I got your response I am just trying to figure out how the command works. I'll be sure that Ken Kirkner and Bill Fox buy you another one at next encounter. Jim P
