Simple string handling for newbies

I've made a very simple example showing how to do some basic string manipulation in PureBasic.
Hopefully this will be usefull for people wanting to get started and learn PB

Code: Select all
; Simple string manipulation example by GeoTrail.
string.s = "PureBasic Rocks!" ; Enter a string with a space here.
; Like a first and lastname.
Lenght.l = Len(string.s) ; Get length of the string.
Left.s = Left(string.s,1) ; Get the first character in the string.
Mid.s = Mid(string.s, Lenght.l/2, 1) ; Get the middle character.
Right.s = Right(string.s,1) ; Get the right character.
Position = FindString(string.s, " ", 1) ; Get the position of the space in
; the string.
If Mid.s = " " ; Check if there is a space in the middle of the string.
Mid.s = "<space>" ; If so, replace it with some informative text.
EndIf
Debug Left.s + " - " + Mid.s + " - " + Right.s + " - " + Str(Lenght.l)
Msg.s = "First part: " + Mid(string.s, 1, Position-1)
Msg.s + Chr(10) + "Second part: " + Mid(string.s, Position+1, Lenght-Position+1)
MessageRequester("Result", Msg.s)
