Re: Removing punctuation in a string

Have you tried playing around with Recode?

Formula like

Word([1 -1], :Column 1, "-")

might also work (and there are plenty of other options).

Re: Removing punctuation in a string

Thank you! I did look into recode, but I didn't see the options that you're seeing. Is that extract segment popup available in JMP 17?

I would assume so. It can be at least found from JMP17 help https://www.jmp.com/support/help/en/17.2/#page/jmp/recode-data-in-a-column.shtml#ww1042951
