StringLeft, StringRight, StringMid

[xmen]

I know how to use those function, but those functions are not inside the include folder, so i can't learn those source code. Would someone here explain how the theory work? If have some source code paste here are much better to understand, else just explain it (theory). Millions thanks.

They are in the help file though:

$result = StringLeft("I am a string", 3)
MsgBox(0, "Leftmost 3 characters are:", $result)

No no, you get my wrong question. I mean how to write those functions source code, not how to use those functions.

The functions were written in C++, do you want "The source code" or AutoIt versions of the functions?

Tho you would have to use the function StringMid in order to do it.

, any, just want to know how they work. In c++, i think put the string in array, then stripping off unwanted chars.

[Insolence]

Yep, that's probably how, seeing as how 'strings' in C++ are just an array of char's. I think.

char hello = "Hello world!";

is

h[0] = "H"

h[1] = "e"

h[2] = "l"

...

So it's as simple as returning the last x parts of the array, the first x, or from x to y.

If you are a C Reader you can download the Open Autoit source. I don't know if it will help but you can definitively do it
