The string parts activity can be used to get different parts of the activity
Activity properties
Possible parts to search for in strings
All the text before a substring in a string, excluding the substring.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Search for: "quick".
begin var StringPartsResult: string; var Needle := 'quick'; var TextPosition := StringValue.IndexOf(Needle); StringPartsResult := Copy(StringValue, 0, TextPosition); end; |
Result: "The ".
All the text after a sub-string in a string, excluding the sub-string.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Search for: "quick".
begin var StringPartsResult: string; var Needle := 'quick'; var TextPosition := StringValue.IndexOf(Needle);
StringPartsResult := EmptyStr; if TextPosition > -1 then begin var LengthToCopy := StringValue.Length - Needle.Length - TextPosition; TextPosition := TextPosition + Needle.Length + 1; StringPartsResult := Copy(StringValue, TextPosition, LengthToCopy); end; end; |
Result: " brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ".
Duplicates the input string by given amount.
Example:
String: "brown fox"
Duplicate amount: 3
begin var StringPartsResult: string; StringPartsResult := DupeString(StringValue, 3); end; |
Result: "brown foxbrown foxbrown fox"
Returns a sub-string that contains a number of characters from the beginning of the string.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Left string amount: 7.
begin var StringPartsResult: string; StringPartsResult := LeftStr(StringValue, 7); end; |
Result: "The qui".
Returns a sub-string that contains a number of characters from a starting position in the string.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Mid string amount: 7.
Starting position: 10.
begin var StringPartsResult: string; StringPartsResult := MidStr(StringValue, 10, 7); end; |
Result: " brown ".
Returns a sub-string that contains a number of characters from the end of the string.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Right string amount: 7.
begin var StringPartsResult: string; StringPartsResult := RightStr(StringValue, 7); end; |
Result: "azy dog".
Padding -> Right part & Left part
Adds a character to the end and/or front of a string a given amount of times.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Right string amount: 3.
Character to add: "-".
Add to: "Both"
begin var StringPartsResult: string; var PaddingLengthtoAdd := StringValue.Length + 3; StringPartsResult := StringValue.PadLeft(PaddingLengthtoAdd, '-'); PaddingLengthtoAdd := PaddingLengthtoAdd + 3; StringPartsResult := StringPartsResult.PadRight(PaddingLengthtoAdd, '-'); end; |
Result: "---The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog---".
Removes a sub-string from a string based on a starting position and a number of characters to remove.
Example:
String: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".
Starting position: 10.
Characters to remove: 10.
begin var StringPartsResult: string; StringPartsResult := StringValue.Remove(10, 10); end; |
Result: "The quick jumps over the lazy dog".
