Finding letters outside characters


Recommended Posts

Hi, is there any way to find the first letter not between two <>? So if I had the string <ab>/<cd>efg can I easily get the 'e' without checking every result from StringRegExp? The example seems easy, but my problem is that there could be other things in between the > and the letter, like numbers or / or ^, etc... so it really is just the first letter. Thanks!

eThirteen,

If you can guarantee that the character is always the first one after the final '>' then you can do this:

$sString = "<ab>/<cd>efg"

$iPos = StringInStr($sString, ">", 0, -1) ; Look for the final >

$sFirst_Char = StringMid($sString, $iPos + 1, 1) ; Read the next character

ConsoleWrite($sFirst_Char & @CRLF)
