Function Documentation

asc (  char   )

Returns the decimal value of a char. Returns the decimal value of the char. Parameters: char  Example writelog(asc("a")) prints in log "97"

chr (  dec_no   )

Returns the character corresponding to a decimal value in ASCII table. Returns the character corresponding to the decimal value no, which must be less then 256, in ASCII table Parameters: dec_no  decimal value between 0 and 255 Example writelog(chr(97)) prints in log "a"

del (  string  , start  , char_no  )

Delete a part of a string. Delete a char_no number of characters starting at start from string. Must be used in an assignment , see example (returns a new string). Parameters: string  Source string start  Start position char_no  How many characters to delete Example mystring=del("my big string",1,3) writelog(mystring) prints in log "big string"

extract (  token_no   )

Return a token resulted after a split. Returns token_no string resulted from splitting a string with split function. Parameters: string  Example s="a|s|c" l=split(s,"|") for (i,1,l,1) writelog(extract(i)) next

lcase (  astring   )

Convert to lower case. Returns the string with all characters in lower case. Parameters: astring  String to be converted Example writelog(lcase ("My String")) prints in log "my string"

len (  string   )

Return length of a string. Returns the number of characters of the string. Parameters: string  Example writelog(len("my big string")) prints in log "13"

mid (  string  , start  , char_no  )

Return a part of a string. Returns the string's substring starting at start with a length of char_no. Parameters: string  Source string start  Start position char_no  How many characters to return Example midstring=mid("my big string",4,3) writelog(midstring) prints in log "big"

pos (  substring  , string  )

Search a substring in a string. Returns the position of the first substring's character in the string. If the substring is not found in string will return 0. Parameters: substring  Substring to search for string  In what string to search Example position=pos("string","my string") writelog(position) prints in log "4"

split (  string  , substring  )

Split a string. Splits string in tokens delimited by substring. Returns the number of tokens. The tokens are remembered until next split. Parameters: string  String to be split substring  Delimiter substring Note: Use it with extract() function

tohex (  astring   )

Format a string in hexadecimal. Return a hexadecimal formatted string, each character followed by a space. Parameters: astring  String to be formated

trim (  string   )

Trims a string. Returns string with all leading and ending spaces and control characters deleted. Parameters: string  String to be trimmed Example trimedstring=trim(" my string "&chr(13)&chr(10)) #has spaces writelog (trimedstring) prints in log "my string", without spaces

ucase (  astring   )

Convert to upper case. Returns the string with all characters in upper case. Parameters: astring  String to be converted Example writelog(ucase ("My String")) prints in log "MY STRING"
