MID( ) |
Return Substring |
MID(string$,offset[,len][,ERR=stmtref])
Where:
|
len |
Length of the substring. |
|
offset |
Starting position of the substring. Numeric expression, integer. If the integer is negative, the offset is taken from the end of the string. |
|
stmtref |
Program line number or statement label to which to transfer control. |
|
string$ |
String expression whose hash value is to be returned. |
Extracted portion of string (similar to substring).
Use the MID( ) function to extract a portion of a string. Using this function is similar to using a substring except that it can be used directly with the return value of a function, variable or expression:
if mid(mse,22,1)>$00$ and mid(mse,22,1)<$FF$ \
then %WDX$="[WDX]"
In addition, if the offset is negative, PxPlus uses it as an offset from the end of the string. For example, mid(X$,-1) is the last character of X$. If the length is negative, then PxPlus uses it as the number of characters preceding the offset; that is, mid("ABCD",-1,-1) returns C (the first character preceding the last character) and mid("abcde",-2,-4) yields abc.
By default, if this function is passed an invalid offset, it returns a null string. If passed an invalid length, then it returns the rest of the string.
