Hello. I have record and field. This field contains 1, 2, 3 or 4 location code filters. For example:

WHITE

WHITE|GREEN

WHITE|GREEN|RED

WHITE|GREEN|RED|BLUE

What is the most optimal (and simplest) way to check if number of location code filter is greater than 1?

I do this task in this way:

FilterTemp: Text

FilterTemp := Record.GetFilter("Location Code");

if FilterTemp.contains('|');

But im not sure that this is good way.

And how can I count number of Location Code filters in this example? I think I can count '|' in FilterTemp and result+1 will be correct answer. But maybe exists easier way?

I have the same question (0)

Hi, just adding some info.

If only '|' is considered, I think a bug will occur.

In fact we can also use "..." to filter the Location Code.

For example,

EAST..OWN LOG

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.
