Removing a character if a field returns a certain value

I could use some help creating a rule that does the following:

 

My letter contains a sentence that reads "But keep reading, <<name>>." My customer wants me to make it so that if the name variable returns a certain value ("Friend") the sentence will instead read "But keep reading." All other values of the variable will return the name.

 

My problem is how do I get rid of the comma and the space after "reading" in this instance, yet keep it for all other values?

 

Thanks in advance!

Simple version.

 

Assuming that the field that it looks at is named "Name" then a simple version would be.

 

if(Field("Name") != "Friend")

return "But keep reading" + " " + Field("Name") + "."

else

return "But keep reading."

woops forgot the comma.

 

if(Field("Name") != "Friend")

return "But keep reading," + " " + Field("Name") + "."

else

return "But keep reading.

Awesome - that helps a lot. It's a little different than what I wanted to do, but I was able to modify it to suit my needs.

 

I really appreciate your help!

As i mentioned, this was the simple method. Were there more instances involved or what exactly did you prefer?

Simple is good! I was able to use yours as a template and simply modify it ever-so-slightly to accomplish my task. My customer is happy, so I am happy.

 

Thanks again!
