Examples: @Abstract

  1. This formula abbreviates the contents of the description field by eliminating vowels.
    2. @Abstract( [DROPVOWELS]:[ABBREV]; 200; ""; "description" )

    If the description field contained this text: The kickoff meeting for our capital campaign is tomorrow.

    Then the formula returns: Th kckff mtng fr or cptl cmpgn is tmrrw.

  2. This formula abbreviates the contents of the description field by using an Abbreviation Dictionary and eliminating vowels, including the vowels that appear as the first letter in a word.
    3. @Abstract([USEDICT]:[DROPVOWELS]:[DROPFIRSTVOWEL]:[ABBREV]; 200; ""; "description" )

    If the Abbreviation Dictionary contains the following:

    capital cap
    meeting mtg
    tomorrow tom

    Then the formula returns: Th kckff mtg fr r cap cmpgn s tom.

  3. This formula shows a misunderstanding in the use of @Abstract. It returns the contents of the description field unaltered, since the [ABBREV] keyword incorrectly precedes [DROPVOWELS].
    4. @Abstract( [ABBREV]:[DROPVOWELS]; 200; ""; "description" )
  4. This formula removes the white spaces from around all punctuation and abbreviates the text in the "opinion" field according to the noteabbr.txt file, which contains the following:

    5. following flwg
    punctuation punc

    @Abstract([RULE2];300;"Result:";"opinion")

    If the opinion field contains the text: The FOllowing is a list of punctuation marks: ! , ; :.

    Then the formula returns: Result:The FLWG is a list of punc marks:!<;:.
