Sample input:

Repeat ( "Hello" ; 3 )

Sample output:

"HelloHelloHello"

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

Substitute ( ( 10^numberOfRepetitions ) - 1 ; 9 ; textToRepeat )

10^2 = 100 - 1 = 99
99 has 2 nines and substitute replaces those each 9s with your text.
10^3 - 1 = 999 ... You see my point.
