Left string command

[cvlr]

There does not appear to be a Left(number of characters) command. I use the midstr command but it's clunky when all I want to do is strip the left few or right few characters off of something.

Maybe I've been using it too long but I don't find MidStr> clunky at all. That said, if you want "left" and "right" functions, you can easily use them in VBScript via VBEval>

Code: Select all

Let>vStr=ManyPathsToTread

VBEval>left("%vStr%",9),res
MDL>res

VBEval>Right("%vStr%",7),res
MDL>res


Midstr>vStr,1,9,res
MDL>res

Midstr>vStr,10,7,res
MDL>res
