Hi,
I am not pleased to having to work with FM, but fortunately saw the Reg Ex plugin Now when I try the following Text: "12345 abcd" Pattern: "12345(.*)" and request $1 I get "abcd"
However when the string gets too long, eg 16 digits; I get a question mark,i.e. error It is really puzzling to me, why there would be a limitation on the return string
Any ideas why and or workarounds?
If your result is in a number-type field, and the field object on the layout is not large enough to display the entire result, it will display as a "?". Could that be what you're seeing?

Use result type 'text' instead of 'number'.
