Browser JavaScript strings have a string.slice() method that lets you cut out some characters from a string. Is there a LiveCycle Designer equivalent, or something similar? I need to strip the first four characters off a string.
 
Thanks,

You can use the same method in LiveCycle Designer.

You need to set the "Language" option in LiveCycle Designer to "JavaScript" and the 'slice', 'substr', and 'substring' methods will all work.

If you set the "Language" option to "FormCalc" then you need to use the 'Substr" function. But you COULD write a 'slice' function for the form.
