    <p>I have collection of similar strings </p> <p>for example : string 1: Customer's first Name is john, his last name is glueck,his company name is abc def technolgies llc, he has a balance of 60 dollars.His spending rate is +3.45%</p> <p>string 2: Customer's first Name is steve, his last name is johnston,his company name is xyz corporation, he has a balance of 800 dollars.His spending rate is -212.86%</p> <p>Now I have to extract the values like john,glueck,abc def technolgies llc,60,+3.45 from the string 1 and steve,johnston,xyz corporation,800,-212.86 from the string 2. </p> <p>In our production environment each string is quite large and I have around 83 fields to extract from each string. What is the best way to extract these values?</p> <p>Is there any method that does opposite of string.format, which takes the reference string &amp; the actual string and returns back the extracted values?</p>

    1. COCan you supply an actual example of the string? At first, you say it looks like a sentence, but then you give some comma-separated values.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
