Deleting the last element in a string?
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Deleting the last element in a string?
| ||
| Hello again, Right now I'm implementing the high score system in my game and I am having trouble with users using the delete key. I found the following piece of code in the code archives: Else If aKeytoGet = 8 Or aKeytoGet = 4 'AscII For Backspace And Delete If Len( tempText$ ) > 0 Then tempText$ = Left$( tempText$, Len(tempText$) -1 ) but it doesnt seem to work quite correctly. Basically I'll enter in a name, then delete part of it, then insert some new characters, but the characters which I initially deleted seem to be popping up at the end of my final string! Anyone have any suggestions? |

| This should work. If tempText.Length > 0 Then tempText$ = tempText$[..tempText.Length-1] As for the problem with them popping up again, well, that's probably somewhere else in your code. |

| Thanks! It works fine now! |
