The value at a specified position in the input string (String class)
Char is an intrinsic function that returns the string value of the single byte at a specified position in the method object string; it treats the object string as a
character array.
Syntax
%outString = string:Char( position)
Syntax terms
| %outString | A string variable to receive the result of the Char method. |
|---|---|
| string | The string to which the method is applied. |
| position | The position in the method object string of the character you want to identify. A position of 1 finds the first character in the string. |
Usage notes
- The position value must be a non-negative, non-zero number; a zero or negative number results in request cancellation. A length value greater than the declared length of the output string results in request cancellation.
- For a given position, Char returns the same value as Substring with a length argument of
1. - Char is available as of Sirius Mods version 7.3.
Example
The following statement displays the s character:
printText {'Conestoga':char(5)}
