Assuming there is no more than one occurance of [image] in any given field, this should work:I assume your database is named database.db, the field it is to be written to is called field, and your string is currently stored in a textvariable called [text]variable[/text][text show=f]appended=yes[/text] [showif [text]variable[/text]^[raw][image][/raw]] [append db=database.db]field=[middle startafter=&endbefore=[raw][image][/raw]][text]variable[/text][/middle][middle startafter=[raw][image][/raw]&endbefore=][text]variable[/text][/middle][/append] [text show=f]appended=yes[/text] [/showif] [showif [text]appended[/text]=no] [append db=database.db]field=[text]variable[/text][/append] [/showif]If a variable could contain more than one instance of [image], something much more complex would be required.
