Purpose

Function to perform string extraction from between specified delimiters

Syntax

STREXTRACT(<expC1>, <expC2> [,<expC3>[,<expN1>[,<expN2>]]])

See Also

AT(), ATNEXT(), INLIST(), LEFT(), MTOS(), OCCURS(), RAT(), RIGHT(), RPAD(), SET STRESCAPE, STR(), STRTRAN(), STUFF(), SUBSTR()

Description

The STREXTRACT() function extracts a string from <expC1> from between the delimiters specified in <expC2> and <expC3>. The occurrence to be extracted can also be specified.

Parameter Description
<expC1> The string to be searched
<expC2> The start delimiter. If <expC2> is an empty string, the string is extracted from the start of <expC1> to the first occurrence of <expC3>.
<expC3> The end delimiter. If omitted or empty, the string is extracted from <expC2> to the end of <expC1>
<expN1> The occurrence of <expC2> at which to start the extraction. If omitted, the first occurrence is extracted.
<expN2> Optional flags (see below).

Settings:

Bit Value (additive) Setting
0 1 Search is case-insensitive.
1 2 End delimiter is not required. If <expC3> is specified, but not found, the string will be extracted from <expC2> to the end of <expC1>
2 4 The delimiters are included in the return string.

Example

htmlstring1 = "<title>STREXTRACT()</title>"
? STREXTRACT(htmlstring1, "<title>", "</title>")
STREXTRACT()
 
? STREXTRACT(htmlstring1, "<title>", "</title>",1,4)
<title>STREXTRACT()</title>
 
? STREXTRACT(htmlstring1, "<", ">",2)
/title
