Title: String trim in SKILL
Post by adesign on Jan 23^rd, 2007, 2:47am

Could you please let me know if there is any way to trim a string in SKILL?

e.g.
Given string is ABCDEFG, MNOPEFG, IJKLEFG, WXYZEFG

I want ABCD, MNOP, IJKL, WXYZ and trim out EFG from the above.

Any suggestions...............

The hard way would be to use parseString and buildString, ie
result = buildString( parseString( "MNOPEFG", "EFG"))

If you're sure that the string have always this character index

1234567 ABCDEFG 12345678 MNOPEFG

you can also use
substring( "MNOPEFG" 1 4 )

Or very blown up, if you know that "EFG" were always the 3 last characters.

t_myString = "MNOPEFG" t_result = substring( t_myString 1 length( parseString( t_myString "" ) ) - 3 )

Here is one more improved version:

rexCompile("EFG$") ; pattern meaning EFG at end of string ($ means end of string)
rexReplace("ABCDEFG" "" 1) ; replace first occurrence of pattern with blank.

Aw, you could have credited me ;)

Your last append looks remarkably like http://www.cdnusers.org/Forums/tabid/52/view/topic/postid/3057/forumid/62/tpage/1/Default.aspx#3072 ...

(I don't mind really, honest)
