Hi,

If let's say u have these three strings

AX0012

BB0013

CC00AX

I want to look if the first letters are AX

I think Str scan is going to return true for the first string and the last string

So what shall I do in this case? I want to detect just if the first letters are AX

I have the same question (0)

You can use the substring function in x++

strStartsWith() is the easiest way.
