Possible to parse Extra Fields?

[dlundell]

Hi,

Is there a way to get at the specific pieces of an Extra Field string?
(treat them as arguments)

Specifically, I have an Extra Field that has a date string like "June 30 2012".
Rather than create 3 Extra Fields for month, day and year, I'd like to be
able to operate on (in shell script lingo) $1 and $2 and $3 of PRODUCT.Field3,
rather than creating separate Extra Fields for each entity.

I've got other more complex examples, where being able to get at a Field
sub-field would be a big help.

Thanks,

Don

You could do it with Javascript "split" assuming the separator character is always the same.
