Word$() Command?

I've been writing a program in another BASIC language, but have decided to switch to PureBasic. In the other language, there is a "word$()" command. I use it to extract specified text from a string.

Ex:

Code: Select all

string$ = "width=640"
n$ = Trim$(Word$(string$, 2, "="))

This would give me the text that comes after "=" in the string. My question is, what is the equivalent of this command in PureBasic? I've looked through the help file, but with no luck. I'm not sure what it would be called in PureBasic.

Thanks, in advance, for your help!

StringField() should give you what you need.

I feel stupid now. I saw that when I was searching, but just skimmed right over it. Anyway, it is what I need and thanks for your help!

Don't worry about that, you have a long way to go yet before your level of stupidity could possibly match mine!
