Try

YourString = StrLeft(YourString, “~”)

If “~” is not in the string the return is Null

Bill,

You’re assuming that Patrick is searching the string from left to right. He asked for the LotusScript equivalent of @LeftBack(FIELD;“~”) which implies searching a string from right to left. In this case, the correct answer is…

YourString = StrLeftBack(YourString, “~”)
