Question

How do I split a delimited field into columns in Crystal Reports XI?

The data in the fields looks like this:

value1 \t value2 \t value3 \r\n

value1 \t value2 \t value3 \r\n

I would like to format it as

Value1 Value2 Value3

I tried putting the fields into Crystal but the tab delimiters are not formatting correctly.

It displays as:

Value1 Value2Value3

Thanks in advance.

You will need three formulas:

//{@one}
Split({table.field}, " \t")[1];

//{@two}
Split({table.field}, " \t")[2];

//{@three}
Split(Split({table.field}, " \t")[3], " ")[1];
