The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Asked by RVL in FoxPro Database

Hi

We have this working but now they would like to improve it more.
Before running the program
DESCRIPT
GLOBE, BONNET/CORRUGATED,CARBON STEEL,4 IN ID,4-3/4 IN OD,1/16 IN THK,ROUND
CIRCUIT BREAKER,1-1/4IN DIA X 7-1/2IN L,STAINLESS STEEL-POLY FIBER

OUTPUT
GLOBE, BONNET/CORRUGATED,CRBN STL,4 IN ID,4-3/4 IN OD,1/16 IN THK,RND
CIR BRKR,1-1/4IN DIA X 7-1/2IN L,STAINLESS STEEL/POLY FIBE

Could we have it like
GLOBE, BONNET/CORRGAT ,CRBN STL,4 IN ID,4-3/4 IN OD,1/16 IN THK,RND
CIR BRKR,1-1/4IN DIA X 7-1/2IN L,SS/POLY FIBE

Looks like if we have something before or after the word to change it gets passed. Is there a way we can check each word. Look at BONNET/CORRUGATED and STAINLESS STEEL/POLY FIBE
I think it could be the line
REPLACE ALL descript WITH SUBSTR(descript,2,LEN(descript)-1) FOR LEFT(descript,1)=","
But not sure
Thanks
