deleteString
deleteString* ( source : string , where : integer , numChars : integer ) : string
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| source | string | → | String from which to delete characters |
| where | integer | → | First character to delete |
| numChars | integer | → | Number of characters to delete |
| Result | string | ← | Resulting string |
Description
deleteString deletes numChars from source, starting at where, and returns the resulting string.
deleteString returns the same string as source when:
- source is an empty string
- where is greater than the length of source
- numChars is zero (0)
If where is less than one, the characters are deleted from the beginning of the string.
If where plus numChars is equal to or greater than the length of source, the characters are deleted from where to the end of source.
Example
var vtResult, vtOtherVar : string
vtResult = deleteString("Lamborghini",6,6) // vtResult gets "Lambo"
vtResult = deleteString("Indentation",6,2) // vtResult gets "Indention"
vtResult = deleteString(vtOtherVar,3,32000) // vtResult gets the first two characters of vtOtherVar
