Purpose
Function to perform substring extraction
Syntax
SUBSTR(<expC> | <memofield>, <expN1> [,<expN2>])
See Also
AT(), ATNEXT(), CONCAT(), INLIST(), LEFT(), OCCURS(), RAT(), RIGHT(), SET STRESCAPE, STR(), STREXTRACT(), STRSTR(), STRTRAN(), STUFF()
Description
The SUBSTR() function extracts a substring from <expC> or <memofield> starting at position <expN1> of width <expN2>. If <expN1> is negative, the extraction starts from the right side of the string. If <expN2> is omitted, a substring will be extracted up to the end of <expC>. When used in conjunction with the AT() function, the SUBSTR() function is very useful for extracting selected information from character strings.
Example
m_usrname = "GTW , Gary T West " ? substr(m->m_usrname,at(",",m->m_usrname)+1) Gary T West
