We have a variable n: code[20]

where n := 'SCI007.001';

Need to extract the only SCI007 i.e before the seperator (dot)

Any suggestions ?

You can try this:

trigger OnRun()

var

mytext: Text;

mynewtext: text;

begin

mytext := 'SCI007.001';

mynewtext := copystr(mytext, 1, (StrPos(mytext, '.') - 1));

Message(mynewtext);

end;
