Tapper Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hi. I need to incorporate parentheses into a text calculation field that loads into a web browser. Does anyone know how to do this? Essentially: "URL" & Address, but I need the address to field to have parentheses around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapper Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Hi. Boy do I feel stupid. I meant quotes around an address field. Is this possible in Filemaker? Edited February 21, 2020 by Tapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapper Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Got it. I just used Quote. I replaced blank spaces in the address field with the ASCII equivalent of %20 for proper loading of the URL in a browser. So now it reads https://URL&keywords="751%20E.%2014th%20Pl." But when it gets passed to the browser the double quotes are missing and the page doesn't load properly. Anybody know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapper Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 I can copy and past the entire URL and the quotes remain. But if I setup a button to OpenURL then the quotes are not passed to the browser. Puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHunter3 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 "URL" & "(" & YourTable::YourAddressField & ")" ... or am I simply not understanding the question you're asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
