Semi Colon issue when using summary fields then Part function

I have run into this a couple times, and don't have a good solution, perhaps someone else does.

I have many scenarios where I have a combined text field, and then look at each Part individually for different reasons. However, if one of the fields combined includes a semi-colon, this will of course 'trick' the system when looking at each part.

All I could come up with is searchandreplace the semicolons prior to combing text. Anyone have a better solution that allows me to leave the semi-colons undisturbed?

  • If this is helpful, the delimiter is actually

    space semicolon space.  

    so if you replace " ; " with something, say a pipe |, then it is unlikely that regular text would use a semicolon that way with space semicolon space.
