Delete char/s from whole string

aceX

Hi there guys, I like to ask, does have some function in C/AL to cut char from string, for example

string NumToWord
NumToWord getting value one thousand and fifty two hundred and dollars

so, here I want to inspect, does before dollars I have 'and', if there is 'and' to be deleted from the string. The problem here is when I use DELCHR function, all and are getting deleted.

Thanks to all
Best regards

Delstr?

With DELSTR I can remove 'and' everywhere in the string, but I want to remove 'and' only at the end. My first example was bad, sorry, I like to do this

one thousand and fifty two hundred and dollars

to convert in

one thousand and fifty two hundred dollars

At the end I get it that I've asked stupid question. I doubt there is function like this in C/AL but I've done this with STRLEN and DELSTR

Counter := STRLEN(NumToWord);
ClearedNumToWord := DELSTR(NumToWord, Counter - 11, 3);

Hi,

the calling syntax is:

NewString := DELSTR(String, Position[, Length])

That's "cut <length> chars from <position> on aut of <string>". So, the way to go would be to identify the position and length of the substring you want to cut.

with best regards
