retrieving the XY-Position in a string

[Hroudtwolf]

Dear comunity,

Thats my prob....

I want to search a string in a string. If the string was found, i need the XY-position from the foundet string in my string.
I tried a lot of thing. My brain already A knot.

Is there anyone who can help me ?

Use the FindString command. If it returns 0, the string inside the string
wasn't found. Anything other than 0 is the X position of the found string.
There is no Y position because strings are one-dimensional, unless you
use two-dimensional strings but then that requires a bit more work.

I get my string from a editorgadget. This string has virtualy two dimensions.

PureBasic strings are only one dimensional. You can't get the text from an
EditorGadget in two dimensions, unless you store it in two different strings.

if your string is formated like "10,5" then use

Code: Select all

X=StringField(String.s,1,",")
Y=StringField(String.s,2,",")
