Return J$

I hate to burst your bubble, but "INSTR" is a function that deals with this. But good thinking though... :)
|
|
Instr doesn't do this, Instr finds one string in another.
|
|
He's right you know, Instr doesn't do this.
but I think mid$ might.
|
|
mid$(string$,3,5)
The issue is whether you want "startposition - end position" or "startposition - amount", that function does the first, mid$ does the second..

Exactly.
It's a simple function, but it makes working with strings appear much nicer.
Whenever I do stuff with strings, it ends up looking really confusing and messy because of things like Mid(string$,start,(end-start)+1)

Only nitpick I could mention is the x,y .. typically you'd see those vars for anything 2d'ish, while this thing here reads from a 1d string. I'd avoid x,y and use x1,x2 or a,b or start,end etc.
