123456 - 2 = 13456 ?

[jvanegmond]

I need to remove a number from a string. As in: 123456 - 2 = 13456

Only when i try to do it 123456 - 2 = 123452 comes out Which ofcourse is, a simple math function, which i don't want.. Well, i hope you understand

; example code
$array = 123456789

For $x = 1 to 9
    $array = $array - $x
Next

MsgBox(0, "", $array)
;this would pop a empty message box.

$a = 123456
$a = StringReplace($a, "2", "")

Thanks for the fast reply!

Dang, that's clever ( or i'm plain dumb )

Use StringReplace().

Example:

$sString = 123456789
$sString = String($sString);Because 123456789 is a integer
$iNumber = 2
$sStrippedString =StringReplace($sString, String($iNumber), "")
MsgBox(0, "Result", $sStrippedString)

EDIT: Next time I have to be quicker.

I would of thought

123456 - 2 = 123454
