Determine last character of a variable
This is probably a very stupid question.. I am trying to extract a substring from a variable and am unsure how to determine the last character... I tried... put char 1 to last character of tdata into tsubstring ...but this fails. Thanks for any help!

Re: Determine last character of a variable
Try char 1 to -1 of tdata. char -1 is the last char char -2 is the next-to-last char and so on. Phil Davis Warren Kuhl wrote: This is probably a very stupid question..

Phil/Stephen, Thanks for your help! I never understood what the -1 meant when dealing with characters. Appreciate your quick responses!

In my book, Rev's chunking capabilities are the 8th wonder of the modern world! Their usefulness defies description.

Re: Determine last character of a variable
As Phil said, chunking is way cool, and might be what sets our favorite programming languages apart from all the others. HC had it because it did not support arrays and data structures. Chunking was an answer to that deficiency. You should make sure you understand that the construction you wanted must have the form: char starNumber to endNumber... (like char 1 to 8) You had a start number, but then had an end character. (like char 1 to w) Craig Newman In a message dated 8/26/09 1:41:25 PM, warrenk...@gmail.com writes: I tried... put char 1 to last character of tdata into tsubstring ...but this fails. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
