Hi,

Is there an easy way to strip words from a field?

i.e. aField = "This is my name";

aField = aField.Strip("This is my name", "name");

Hence aField = "This is my";

You can use the JavaScript 'indexOf()' method to locate the position of the search string and then with that value, extract the substring with the 'substr()' method to extract the characters before the search word.
