rossnixon Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I'm wanting to pull out some text using _StringBetween when the delimiters each side of the desired result are " characters.I've tried a few variations without success,e.g. _StringBetween($text, '"', '"')Is there some type of ASCII code I can use instead, perhaps?Thanks!

rossnixon Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks jchd. My error was treating the result as a normal variable instead of an array, so it showed as blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossnixon Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Now my problem is pulling the first element of the array into a string variable. Looks complicated!The example in help looks a bit like:_ArrayToString($fileArray, " :: ", 0, 0, @CRLF,0, 0)or_ArrayToString($fileArray, "", 0, 0)but they don't work.

Kidney Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Now my problem is pulling the first element of the array into a string variable.
