String parsing issue

Michael king

Letsa say I have a string

String = "ABCDEFG"

How would I strip the A off and use "BCDEFG"?

Well, first off, let's correct your syntax:

s := [b]string[/b]("ABCDEFG")

Now, s will be the address of an in situ byte array that looks like this: $41 $42 $43 $44 $45 $46 $47 $00. So, if you do:

t := s + 1

t will point to the string starting with "B".

So then this should work but it does not.

IF buf[noparse][[/noparse]0]=="P"
····· text:=buf+1
······

IF buf[noparse][[/noparse]0]=="P"
      text:=buf+1

      comm.str(text)

Buf=PPP1250

Try text := @buf + 1. You want an increment of the address, not of the first byte's contents.
