Create a record of series on a label

[kelshorn]

I'm trying to display a set of records as a series. Right now the expression I'm using is $V{catalog_numbres}.substring( 0, $V{catalog_numbers}.length() -1) which displays my information like this: 53535, 53536, 53537, 53538, etc. 

Is there a way for me to display the infomation like 53535-53538? I'm not the greatest with codes or any of this, but everything I've tried hasn't worked. 

 

Thanks

This is a Java question.

'You will have to parse $V{catalog_numbres} into an array - look at split - and return the first and last elements of the array.
