String Problem :(

[fi3ldy]

ok, basically i have a file which contains information which looks like: 1|username|435m345nm435b345

Im attempting to get the "1", the very first character, except i cant just StringTrimRight because the "1" could go to 2 characters, such as "22" or "356", i basically have to cut it off and get the chracter(s) before the first |

If anybody could help it would be very appriciated!

this has mind boggled me

Look at the help file for StringSplit()

Example:

$Information = StringSplit('1|username|435m345nm435b345', '|')

That will give you:

$Information[0] = 3

$Information[1] = 1

$Information[2] = username

$Information[3] = 435m345nm435b345

$str = "1|username|435m345nm435b345"
$trimmed = StringLeft($str, StringInStr($str, "|") - 1)
MsgBox(0, "", $trimmed)

$str = "22|username|435m345nm435b345"
$trimmed = StringLeft($str, StringInStr($str, "|") - 1)
MsgBox(0, "", $trimmed)

$str = "356|username|435m345nm435b345"
$trimmed = StringLeft($str, StringInStr($str, "|") - 1)
MsgBox(0, "", $trimmed)
