[jawsscripts] Re: Character Index in String?

Hello,

How about that test script

Script test ()

var

string tmp

let tmp ="Hello! 1234"



; warning, long line

let tmp = stringChopRight (tmp, (stringLength(tmp) -StringContains(tmp, 
"!")))



sayString (tmp) ; says Hello



EndScript



HTH

Subject: [jawsscripts] Character Index in String?


Hopefully, this is an easy question for you guys.I want to remove all 
characters in a string after the occurrence of a certain character, lets say 
":", and including that character.  I looked at the StringLeft and 
StringContainsChars functions.  To have these two functions work together, 
the StringContainsChars would need to return the index where the character 
was found rather than just a Boolean True or false.  Are there more 
appropriate functions or methods to accomplish this simple task.
For instance I want to transform the string
"Menu:only available in To DVD mode"
to
"Menu"
