Searching for a phrase and trimming a string

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi I'm trying to search for a phrase then trim the string from left once finding that phrase  

So i did this

 

_ArrayDisplay($aTableData)


Local $iPosition = StringInStr($aTableData[2][1], "Total Value of Payments :")
StringTrimLeft($aTableData[2][1], $iPosition)
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Outputting $iPosition " & $iPosition)

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Outputting table after it's been trimmed")
ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & $aTableData[2][1])

However it doesn't seem to trim the string as I get the following output which is the same string as if I don't use StringTrimLeft at all? 

Outputting $iPosition 117
Outputting table after it's been trimmed

Status DescriptionNumber of PaymentsValue of Payments

Waiting for Credit Controller666



Total Value of Payments : 666


 >Exit code: 0    Time: 35.24

Makes sense as the result isn't stored anywhere. Try something like this:

$aTableData[2][1]=StringTrimLeft($aTableData[2][1], $iPosition)

In the StringTrimLeft() statement, one (1) should be subtracted from the $iPosition value. Ie;

$aTableData[2][1]=StringTrimLeft($aTableData[2][1], $iPosition - 1)
