FindStringByStartingChar&Len (FLSTR)
This function has the following syntax:
FLSTR<source_string, string_start, len, mode>ðstring
This function searches for a substring having a defined starting character ("string_start")
and a
defined length ("len") within the "source_string". It returns the string you searched for, or an
empty one in case of failure.
If searching for a substring having a length already kn
own, the "string_start" and "string_stop"
arguments must share the same number.
The "mode" argument allows managing the starting character
("string_start"):
0 = include starting character
1 = discard starting character
SelectString (SSTR)
This function has the following syntax:
SSTR<source_string, pos_start, pos_end>strin
g
It extracts a substring whose characters are between "pos_start" and "pos_end"
from the
"source_string".
If "pos_end" is longer than the "source_string" length,
no error will be generated since the
exceeding characters are ignored.
The first character of every string is in position 1.
FindPosition (FPOS)
This function has the following syntax:
FPOS<source_string, search_string>po
sition
This function searches for a defined substring within the "source_string" and returns its
position. If the
substring is not found, the returned value is 1.
StringLength (LSTR)
This function has the following syntax:
LSTR<string>l
ength
This function returns the length of the defined string.
StringConcatenation
This function has the following syntax:
string1 + string2stri
ng
This function allows concatenating two different strin
gs in order to get a single string as result.
StringDiscard
This function has the following syntax:
string1 - string2stri
ng
This function discards all the strings having the same value as "string2" which can be found in
"string1". If no "string2" is found within
"string1", the result returns "string1".
InsertString (ISTR)
This function has the following syntax:
