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

/* Change the delimiter § if this character is likely to appear in your text */ Substitute ( GetValue ( Substitute ( text ; [ ¶ ; "§" ] ; [ delimiter ; ¶ ] ) ; valueID ) ;"§" ; ¶ ) Click to copy

You can use this to define a custom delimiter and retrieve the values. This is useful if your text has returns in it and you cannot use the GetValue() function provided by filemaker.
