Hello Adoby...

Please bear with me again. That is the first time I have used templates.

I am trying to extend the template above to replace the comma in the author_sort field with a semi-colon, so that Smith, Bill becomes Smith; Bill.

I assume that I need to use the re function, and came up with:

{re({author_sort:list_item(0,&)},,,}

but I expect I shall need to use some sort of escape character to distinguish the pattern argument comma from the separator commas between the function arguments.

Then, I am uncertain how I should combine the two functions, once I have expressed the re function correctly.

Just applying the initial template you provided has shown me what a time-saver they can be, and I want to become more fluent in their use.
