hi there

i need to use string functions like substr() from php. can someone help me?

for example %first should be the first 6 letters of "HELLOGUYS" (HELLOG)

and i %last should be the last 6 letters of "HELLOGUYS" ... or all letters from the 4th letter of "HELLOGUYS" (LOGUYS)

is there a chance to do this?


thx for answer

oh i think i've found it. sorry, i've postet to fast.

please delete thread

Don't know what you found, but what you want is $mid()

Thats it!

I've searched for "string funktions" and get something like $left $right $mid $pos ... etc pp

Thank your for your answer!

$mid( ) will work of course, but I think what he asked for was based on end position; therefore, I think that he wants $left( ) and $right( ), in this instance, because of the way he phrased his question.

• var %left = $left(HELLOGUYS, 6)

Quote:

%last should be the last 6 letters of "HELLOGUYS"

• var %right = $right(HELLOGUYS, 6)

Quote:

or all letters from the 4th letter of "HELLOGUYS"

• var %right = $right(HELLOGUYS, -3)
  
  $right( , -3) because you're omitting the first 3 characters to start on the 4th.

Using $mid:

var %first = $mid(HELLOGUYS, 1, 6)
var %last = $mid(HELLOGUYS, 4)
