¿How can I cut words?

questions

I want to cut the word that is inside the ‘-’, either the word of any length. Example:

String: -----HELLO-----

SubString : ‘HELLO’

thank you…

Hi Javi,

If you have CapeSoft StringTheory look at:

and

As Johan says, StringTheory helps here - there are lots of options.

another option would be to use trim to remove ‘-’ from front and back of the string:

st.setValue(’-----HELLO-----’)
st.trim(’-’)
stop('string is now ’ & st.getvalue())

cheers

Failing string theory there’s an included SystemString class from SV.
Or just use INSTRING() and SUB() to get there
