Hello Everybody:

I need to know how can extract someone character from a text string. Actualy I know the character position.

This like to SUBSTR function in other Languages

Regards.

Let's say you want character 6 of a string, mystr. Do:

mystr(6;1)


This means start at position 6 and take 1 character.

Hi,
I'm a frenchy baan developer.
you propose "mystr()" but in the help of baan i don't find this function.
strange !
in other language i know "substring"

thank's

Hi,

You're right mystr is not a function..
I think evesely meant that if your string variable name was mystr then you can use the syntax he offered..

Yes indeed,

For instance, you have the following situation:

domain tcmcs.str10 source, target
source = "ABCDEFGHIJ"
target = source(3;2)

This means that target will be assigned 2 positions from source starting with position 3.

target = source(4)
Here target will get everything in source from position 4, i.e. target will contain "DEFGHIJ"

Etc etc

Hope this is clear. If you have more questions try the WIKI pages, or else if you're stuck don't hesitate to ask here..

Good luck!
