iOS Question String functions like right, left, etc..

[inakigarm]

Hi:

I'm looking for this kind of string functions in B4i but I haven't found them

If there's no core or additional string functions library, is there another option ??(regex alternative or inline objective C code for ex ??

Thanks

The StringsFunctions library which was implemented in B4A is based on the core features of B4A. All these features are available in B4i.

You can easily use Substring or Substring2 to implement these functions.

Ok Done !

Hi. I am not clear how I can use SubString or SubString2 in B4i. There does not appear to be a StringFunctions library.Can anyone advise?

 

[inakigarm]

It depends about the string function you want; if you want to implement Left$ or Right$ is easy to code in a class module (with substring)

Thanks. My b4a implementation saves out a 24 character progress code which, on reloading, is then read and parsed into the respective variables using ProgressCode.SubString2(0,1) etc.

Substring does not work in b4i. I heard that the b4a stringfunctions library could somehow be run as a module in b4i but I don't know how.

Any ideas?

What is not working with SubString2 in B4i ?
txt1 = ProgressCode.SubString2(0, 1)
Returns the first character in ProgressCode.
It's the same as in B4A.
StringFunctions, in B4A, was developped by margret as a code module at the beginning and afterwards compiled to a library.

As Klaus wrote, SubString and Substring2 do work properly in B4i. Please post the relevant code and the the string that you are working with.

My fault. My variable had been DIMed as an Int not String. Apologies.

Will Stringfunctions become a shared module in future releases. I really like the functionality of SF
