Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let([
NumVals=ValueCount(Content);
thisValue = GetValue( content; 1);
content = RightValues( content; NumVals-1);
newString = Substitute( 10^thisValue -1; "9"; string) ]; 

Case( NumVals = 0; "|";

"|" & newString & visualizeNumbers( RightValues( Content; NumVals -1) ; string)

)
)

Simplified version of Tim Andersons "visualise" function.
Self-contained, does not require calling another function.

Tim liked my suggestions but suggested posting it as a separate function.

(And it uses the American spelling of visualize!)
