Tables help, my brain not working!

Post by syang » Tue May 31, 2011 5:20 am

It seems to be a simple issue, but i can't find a solution.

From a basic tables field, i would like to obtain the content of a cell, but i am only able to retrieve the entire line.

In the past with fields, i would say,

Put item 2 of line 5 of fld "afield"

But this doesn't work for tables. as the cells are separated by tabs instead of commas?

Any solutions?

Use 'itemDelimiter' to change the delimiter from comma to tab, then grab the item you want.
