Question

I want to display only the first line of a multi-line textarea. I know I can use $formfield(School Contact,10,...) to limit the display to 10 characters. But, what I really want is just the first line where the person's name resides.

I cannot find any documentation on how to do this?

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

You could use the SpreadSheetPlugin for this: SEARCH for the end of the line (<br />) and REPLACE from that point to the end of the string with null (use LENGTH to find the end of the string).

Another option is to use a FormattedSearch pattern to clip it with a regular expression.
