RE: [Talk] Script is losing a character

Hi Scott,    Before the loop you would set Pw to equal your password.   In the loop    Left(Pw,1) takes the first character of your password, i.e., if your password was “ABCD” then  Left(Pw,1) is equal to “A” and  Mid(Pw,2)  takes all the characters from the 2nd character on – so in the above example it would be equal to “BCD”.  The next time thru the loop Left(Pw,1) would be equal to “B”  and Mid(Pw,2) would be equal to “CD” and so on.   Hope that helps (I often have to interpret Rich J)   Sara   Sara McNeil Boston Software Systems 866 653 5105 508 653 5105 Ext 6 www.bostonworkstation.com    From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of White, Scott A Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2004 4:29 PM To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: RE: [Talk] Script is losing a character   Hi Rich, I appreciate the reply. In this statement:  Key Left(Pw,1) I'm wondering if the Pw is where I would place my actual passsword. What does the 1 represent?
