hi...

trying to create a script that will read a portion of the sales order item description and pull that data into another field.  I can pull the entire description in another field with the script, but my problem is I need to parse part of the description separated by pipe delimiter (|).  The description may look like this: model number = 1234|width=50|hinge side= left active|

I am trying to pull only the part where it starts hinge side.  Here is what I have so far.  It is not working at all, so the syntax must be wrong

slsord = ""

desc = ""

pid6 = ""

item = ""

retVal = oBusObj.GetValue ("SalesOrderNo$", slsord)

retVal = oBusObj.GetValue ("ItemCodeDesc$", desc)

retVal = oBusObj.GetValue ("ItemCode$", item)

If InStr(ItemCodeDesc$,desc},'HINGE SIDE') > 0

Then "HINGE SIDE= " + ExtractString({SO_SalesOrderDetail.desc},"HINGE SIDE=","|")

Else ""

retVal = oBusObj.SetValue("UDF_PID06$", desc)

End if

Thanks for any help...Really appreciate it...
