SELECTSTR

iqbalmad

Hi all,

we use the SELECTSTR to retrieves a substring from a comma-separated string.

NewString := SELECTSTR(Number, CommaString)

Is there a function to retrieve a string from a tab-separated string?

Thanks

No, afaik there isn't. You have to convert the tab into comma by CONVERTSTR, if possible. Otherwise you need to use COPYSTR, STRPOS, etc. to seperate your string on your own.

You could convert the tabs to commas first, using Convertstr, then use SelectSTR as normal :

TabChar is a text variable, length 1

TabChar[1] := 9 ;
TextWithCommas := ConvertStr(TextWithTabs,TabChar,',') ;
