Look at the links.
myVar := COPYSTR('name:Mark',STRPOS('name:Mark','M'))

is prefix fixed always? (name:)?
does your string has " " also?

If it is fixed then try
myVar := COPYSTR(String,6,MAXSTRLEN(String)-6));

myVar := COPYSTR('name:Mark',STRPOS('name:Mark','M'))

But, in another case I have to start from the character after ":"... any tip?

It's not fixed, I have to select the character after ":"

mohana_cse06

only one character after : or all characters after : ?
did you above code?

sharon95

all character after :

then the above code should work. try and let me know if you have any issues

sharon95

but it's not fixed.. I can have xxxxxxx:x, x:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, x:x, .....

mohana_cse06

ok.. got it. try this.
myVar := COPYSTR(String,STRPOS(String,':')+1,MAXSTRLEN(String)-STRPOS(String,':')));

It worked with myVar := COPYSTR(String,STRPOS(String,':')+1
It didn't work with myVar := COPYSTR(String,STRPOS(String,':')+1,MAXSTRLEN(String)-STRPOS(String,':')));

Thank youu!!!

mohana_cse06

it should work with that too.
in which case it didn't work?

all cases, it prints ":blabla"

mohana_cse06

that's not true.
you must have written without +1.
It will work.
