Bug or User Error

I have a string that is 28 chars long: Extract to "C:\Obj00074.txt". If I specify

$saveFile = StringMid($buttonText, 13, (StringLen($buttonText) - 2))

the text that is returned is C:\Obj00074.txt". However, if I use '15' for the 3rd paratemeter, I get

C:\Obj00074.txt. (StringLen($buttonText)- 2) should equal 15.

HI,

you have to post your script, otherwise it will be hard to test it.

So long,

My vote goes to 28-2=26

Why do you say it should be 15 ?

The example your giving doesn't make any sense really.

1. Your starting from the 13th Char.

2. Your using the "Entire StringLen - 2", but you already moved forward 13?

So your output would always be the rest of the string from the 13 char.

Where you trying to do this?

$String = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
MsgBox(0, 'info', StringMid($String, 13, (StringLen($String) - 13) - 2))

Note how the example leaves off the "yz" in the string return. Edited August 29, 2006 by SmOke_N
