Jul 22, 2011 Replies: 205 Updated: 3/14/2014 - Version 1.05, This new version has 14 new functions/commands. Please report any issues. The new functions/commands are underlined and listed below in the updated docs. Updated: 9/19/2013 - Version 1.04, Corrected an error in the Mid() function when retrieving the last character. Updated: 8/28/2013 - Version 1.03, Added code to stop OutOfBounds error on the Mid Function. This would happen when an invalid index was passed to the function. Also corrected a bug that was in the DayOfMonth Function in versions prior to 1.02. Updated: 4/5/2013 Added new date functions and a simple Encrypt and Decrypt Function. NOTE: A few older Functions were renamed. StringFunctions use function names that are closer to the VB commands and may help beginners when they start programming in B4A. I wrote them for that reason when I started. These functions use to be in a code module but have now been converted to a Library. This has the new inline syntax and help as you start to type the command. Requires B4A 2.5 or Higher Copy the StringFunctions.jar and StringFunctions.xml to the Extra Libraries folder. Be sure to DIM the Lib object like Below. You can use any variable name in place of sf in the Example below. Code: Sub Globals Dim sf As StringFunctions sf.Initialize End Sub StringFunctions Version 1.05 AsciiCodes Displays a MessageBox with all Characters and their ASCII codes. AddSpaces (HowMany As Int) As String Returns a string of spaces. The number returned is set by HowMany. At (YourString As String, SearchFor As String)) Returns the position of the SearchFor within YourString.

Encrypt (YourText As String) As String Converts a string of text to simple encryption, no Key is needed. EraseData This will erase all data saved with the SaveData function stored in the temporary vault. FileExist (PathAndFileName As String) As Boolean Returns True if the filename passed does exist, otherwise returns False. Be sure to include the path like: If FileExist("/mnt/sdcard/mydata.dat") Then MsgBox("Yes", "The Answer") GetData (Key As Object) As Object Gets data from the temporary vault. EditText1.Text = SF.GetData("EnteredName") The Key is case sensitive. InString (YourString As String, SearchFor As String)) Returns the position of the SearchFor within YourString. IsEmpty (StringText As String) As Boolean Test to see if the string is empty and returns True if it is, otherwise returns False. Left (StringText As String, Length As Long) As String Returns the Left portion of a string with the number of characters passed in Length.

ListToStringArray (YourList As List, Sorted As Boolean, Ascending As Boolean) As String() Converts a List object to a String Array. Lower (StringText As String) As String Returns the string converted to Lowercase characters. Ltrim (StringText As String) As String Returns a new string with the leading spaces removed. MB (Message As String) Same as MsgBox but only needs one parameter. Mid (StringText As String, Start As Int, Length As Int) As String Returns the a new String for how ever many characters passed in Length from a starting position passed in Start. Example: Mid("This is a long line of text", 5, 2) In this example the function will Return: "is" MidExtract (StringText As String, Start As String, EndAt As String) As String Used to extract text from a string between to other blocks of text. Ans = MidExtract("Dr. Jim Joe Brown", "Jim", "Brown") 'Returns: Joe Ans = MidExtract("Dr. Jim [Joe] Brown", "[", "]") 'Returns: Joe MidS (StringText As String, StartAt As Int) As String Works like the Mid$ function in Visual Basic. Month (MyDate As String) As Int Returns the number of the current month 1-12 as Int type, from the date passed to MyDate. MonthName (MyDate As String) As String Returns the Name the current month as a String like January, etc., from the date passed to MyDate. NewDate (DatePassed As String, HowManyDays As Int) As String Returns a new date adding or subtracting HowManyDays. HowManyDays can be positive or negative numbers. NumOfDaysBetween (CurrentDate As String, OtherDate As String) As Int Returns the numbers of days passed between the two dates passed. Pad (Text As String, PadWith As String, Length As Int, Post As Boolean) As String Used to pad a string with a selected character. If Post = True the padding will follow any text in the string, if Post = False, the padding will be before the text. Length is the total length for the padded string. PadWith is the selected character to use for the padding. SF.Pad("Jimmy Joe", "*", 20, True) 'Returns "Jimmy Joe***********" Proper (StringText As String) As String Returns the string in proper format. Example: MyText = "jim joe brown" MyText = SF.Proper(Mytext) This function will return: "Jim Joe Brown" Replicate (mChar As String, Times As Int) As String Repeats any character passed, a selected number of Times. Right (StringText As String, Length As Long) As String Returns the Right portion of a string with the number of characters passed in Length. RndChrGen (StringLength As Int, CharacterType As Int) As String Returns a string of ramdom characters with a length specified by StringLength. CharacterType tells the function what type of characters to return. CharacterType = 0 for Upper and Lower case CharacterType = 1 for Upper case only CharacterType = 2 for Lower case only Rtrim (StringText As String) As String Returns a new string with the trailing spaces removed. SaveData (Key As Object, Data As Object) Save data passed in a temporary file. SF.SaveData("ScreenTitle", MyVar) or SF.SaveData("EnteredName", EditText1.Text) ScrInfo ( As Pect) As Int Returns information about the devices screen. You can pass these parameters: Pass "W" for Width Pass "H" for Height Pass "S" for Scale Pass "D" for DPI Call like: SF.ScrInfo("W") SearchDate (Date1 As String, Date2 As String, DateRange As Int) As Boolean Returns True if the Date1 and the Date2 are within x Days(DateRange) of each other. Pass the dates as Strings. Example: SearchDate("03/01/2013", "02/15/2013", 30) Split (CurrentString As String, Split_At_Delimiter As String) As List Returns a LIST of items from the string split at the Delimiter. EXAMPLE: Dim ANS As List ANS = SF.Split("This is a test string.", " ") SplitGetWord (CurrentString As String, Split_At_Delimiter As String, GetElement As Int) As String Returns just the one element selected with GetElement from the string. EXAMPLE: ANS = SF.SplitGetWord("This is a test string.", " ", 2) In this example the function will Return: "is" StrArraySort (StringArray() As String, Ascending As Boolean) As String() Used to sort a String Array. Sort will be in Ascending order if Ascending = True. StringArrayToList (StringArray() As String, Sorted As Boolean, Ascending As Boolean) As List Converts a String Array to a List object. StringToList (StringText As String, Sorted As Boolean, Ascending As Boolean) As List Convert a String to a List object. This will split the string between words. Stuff (CurrentText As String, InsertInString As String, RemoveFromString As String) As String Used to replace text in a string with new text. Example: MyText = "I will tell you that joe is a good friend!" MyText = SF.Stuff(MyText, "Joe Brown", "joe") This function will return: "I will tell you that Joe Brown is a good friend!" Today () As String Returns the devices date. Trim (Text As String) As String Returns a new string with leading and trailing spaces removed. Upper (StringText As String) As String Returns the string converted to Uppercase characters. Val (StringText As String) As Double Returns the numerical value of a string. If the string contains now value it returns 0. ValidDate (ChkDate As ) As Boolean Returns True if the date passed is a Valid date.

WeekName (MyDate As String) As String Returns the name of the day of the week like Sunday, Monday, etc., from the date passed to MyDate. Year (MyDate As String) As String Returns the year of the date passed in MyDate. Example: SF.Year("01/01/2013") returns "2013" getSDCardPath () As String Returns external/physical SD Card directory. This function may not return the correct store on an Android OS above 4.1. This is due to changes made to the OS system in the newer versions. Returns "", if the store can not be read. iif (Value1 As String, Value2 As String, Value3 As String) As String This is a single line if conditional test. If Value1 is true, Value2 is returned, otherwise Value3 will be returned. Works with strings and booleans. Example: MsgBox(iif("Bob"="Jim", "They are the same", "They are not the same"), "The Answer") or MyBoolean = iif(FirstTime = True, StartMyService = True, StartMyService = False) Attachments StringFunctions 1.0.zip StringFunctions 1.0.zip 5.8 KB · Views: 3,046 StringFunctions 1.01.zip StringFunctions 1.01.zip 7.3 KB · Views: 2,670 StringFunctions 1.03.zip StringFunctions 1.03.zip 7.4 KB · Views: 2,021 StringFunctions 1.04.zip StringFunctions 1.04.zip 7.6 KB · Views: 3,251 StringFunctions 1.05.zip StringFunctions 1.05.zip 10.6 KB · Views: 9,559 Last edited: Mar 21, 2014 Click to expand...

Rusty Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 24, 2013 #62 Hi Margaret, good work! Can the Split function split a string based upon the existence of another STRING? Code: dim s() as list = x.Split("Now is the time", "the") results in an array that contains: Code: s.get(0) = "Now is " s.get(1) = " time" Thanks in advance, Rusty Last edited: Apr 24, 2013

margret Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 24, 2013 #63 I have not tried this, but due to the way B4A handles the quotes I don't think it will. You should try it and see what it returns.

Rusty Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 24, 2013 #64 Thanks Margaret, I did try it and, no, it doesn't handle it... I had to write my own function to do so. I was hoping Regards, Rsuty

margret Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Apr 27, 2013 #65 Can you share what you are using this for? This may be something I will add in an update. Just trying to understand when you would need or how you would use this.

I'm also new to B4A, but experienced with VB, please excuse me if I ask stupid questions in the beginning :sign0161: I have the same experience and also get a compiler error. I added the and selected the StringFunctions libraries as described in #1, and selected it for the project, but when I use the IsEmpty() function, I get the error: Undeclared variable 'isempty' is used before it was assigned any value. Is there anything else I need to add or include somewhere to use the StringFunctions library? Any help will be appreciated.

M MattC Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 16, 2013 #74 I just know this is going to be a stupid question but I cannot figure this out so I'll ask anyway. I have everything working fine in the main activity. I'm now trying to use the stringfunctions in a code module and it looks like the only method that works is to dim and init the stringfunctions in every sub. I'd have expected to do this once only in a code module but using globals and process globals produced errors. Am I missing something?

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 16, 2013 #75 Sure you can! You can define Dim sf As StringFunctions in any module in ProcessGlobals. But to call sf from another module you must add the module name as a prefix. Example: you Dim sf As StringFunctions in a code module named Test. Then you can use sf in any other module with Test.sf.xxx like any other process global variable. Best regards.

From Globals it doesn't get dimmed or initialised at all. I've just noticed under another code module that I cannot dim from globals there either. What should I be doing? Thanks for the help.
