How can I get the value with extracting string when it contains < > symbols?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:31PM in Ask A Guru 5 comments

Hello,

I am running into an issue with a saved search where I am trying to pull specific sections of string into different columns from a memo stored field. The memos value is divided by a ; value which is what I am using as the basis for separating out these strings but when the memo field contains a < value it acts like that is an ; value. Any help would be appreciated.

Example memo field data:

First section of words; Second section with < 1000 value; Third section: words; Fourth section of words

Formula's I have tried:

  1. SUBSTR({memo}, INSTR({memo},';',1,1)+1,(INSTR({memo},';',1,2)-INSTR({memo},';',1,1)-1))

Howdy, Stranger!
