getting the first so many chars of a string?

adri

hi

I want to grab the first 'x' number of chars from a string to do a string compare later.

If anyone can help it'd be appreciated..

Cheers

That one's easy. Your string is really a byte array, just set the byte after the last one you want to zero.

var
byte mystring[noparse][[/noparse] 32 ]

pub
bytemove(@mystring,string("Roger Williams"),15)
mystring[noparse][[/noparse] 5 ] := 0
text.out(@mystring) 'prints "Roger"
