COMPNOCASE String Function

Use: Performs a case-insensitive comparison of two strings to see if they match. For example, in a case-insensitive comparison, abc is the same as ABC or aBc. Note: The EQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to another field or variable. The comparison can be case sensitive or insensitive. Syntax: {COMPNOCASE( «string» , «string» )} Arguments: First «string» First character string to compareSecond «string» Second character string to compare Returns: 1 = Match 0 = No match Example 1: Fields = txt_field1, txt_field2{template_name_.txt_field1} = NextGen{template_name_.txt_field2} = nextgen{COMPNOCASE( {template_name_.txt_field1}, {template_name_.txt_field2} )} Or {COMPNOCASE( {template_name_.txt_field1}, nextgen} )}Result: 1 Example 2: Fields = txt_field1, txt_field2{template_name_.txt_field1} = Health Care{template_name_.txt_field2} = health{COMPNOCASE( {template_name_.txt_field1}, {template_name_.txt_field2} )} Or{COMPNOCASE( Health Care, {template_name_.txt_field2} )}Resu

FIELDLEN String Function

Use: Returns the remaining number of characters that can be entered in a text- or memo-type data entry field Syntax: {FIELDLEN( «field» )} For a text-type field, you must use this function with the LEN function: {FIELDLEN( «field» )} - {LEN( «string» )} For a memo-type field, you must use this function with the MEMOLEN function: {FIELDLEN( «field» )} - {MEMOLEN( «string» )} Arguments: «field» Field to be evaluated Returns: The number of characters that are available after an entry has been made in the field Example 1: Text field = template_name_.txt_fieldText field length = 100Alert trigger/Assign Field Value = { FIELDLEN ( {template_name_.txt_field ) } - {LEN ( {template_name_.txt_field } ) }Characters entered in field at run time in NextGen® Enterprise EHR = 7 Result: Alert message displays 93 Example 2: Memo field = template_name_.memo_fieldMemo field default length = 10,000Alert trigger/Assign Field Value = { FIELDLEN ( {template_name_.memo_field ) } - {MEMOLEN ( {template_name_.me

RIGHT String Function

Use: Extracts the specified rightmost characters in a character string Syntax: {RIGHT( «string» , «num» )} Arguments: «string» Character string to be evaluated«num» Number of characters from the right to return Returns: The specified number of characters on the right in the character string Example: Field = txt_field{template_name_.txt_field} = John Shaw{RIGHT( {template_name_.txt_field}, 4 )} Result: Shaw Parent topic: Functions

NOTEQUAL Function

Use: Compares multiple fields or variables to a specified value to determine if all of their values are not equal. This function uses AND logic where each value being compared must not equal the source value in order to return a no equal value for the group. You can compare values with or without regard to case (case sensitive or case insensitive). For example, in a case-insensitive comparison, abc is the same as ABC or aBc. Note: The EQUAL function compares multiple fields or variables to a specified field or variable to determine if they are equal. Syntax: {NOTEQUAL( «no case» , «compare_to» , «value1» , «value2»,,,, )} Arguments: «no case» 1 = case insensitive 0 = case sensitive«compare_to» Field to compare other values to«value1» Field to be compared «value2»,,,, (to «valuen») Each additional field to be compared Returns: 1 = Not equal 0 = Equal Example 1: Case insensitiveFields: txt_field = Testtxt_other_field1 = texttxt_other_field2 = Tests{NOTEQUAL( 1 , {template_name_.txt_field

Use:	Finds the first occurrence of a specified character in a string, starting from the end (right side) of the string
Syntax:	`{REVFIND( «string» , «char» )}`
Arguments:	`«string» Character string to be searched «char» Value to be found (case sensitive)`
Returns:	If the character is found, its zero-based position in the string, starting from the beginning (left side) of the string -Or- -1 if the character is not found
Example 1:	`Field = txt_field {template_name_.txt_field} = NextGen Healthcare {REVFIND( {template_name_.txt_field}, "a"}` Result: 15
Example 2:	`Field = txt_field {template_name_.txt_field} = NextGen Healthcare {REVFIND( {template_name_.txt_field}, "i")}` Result: -1
