Manipulating Data in Multi-Select Drop Down List

Hi there, I am fairly new to designer and was wondering if someone had run into a similar situation that I am. I have created a form that has a multi-select Drop Down list. The data that is presented to the client is different from the data that will be stored in the database upon submission (however they are 1 to 1 related). What I am attempting to do is capture each selection that was chosen from the multi select drop down list, manipulate it (i.e. Automobile would become car, or orange would become fruit for example), and then store those values in a comma-separated hidden text field.



Has anyone tried this, or been able to achieve this? I have a different single select drop down list with manipulation and it works perfectly, I am just having issues recursing through the dropdown list to determine exactly what was picked.



Thanks in advance for any help.
