Hi,

Can you provide some more information as the string you provided seems to be some numbersequenceId.

Thanks,
Chaitanya Golla

Hi,

You need to use strReplace function as below.

Refer link: msdn.microsoft.com/.../global.strreplace.aspx

static void AxC(Args _args)

{

str s;

s = strReplace("ABC-####", "#", "1");

info(strFmt("%1", s));

}

Thanks,

Chaitanya Golla

Hi Murali,

If you actually want to replace the # characters from the string with a single character you can do that as explained by Chaitanya above.

If you just want to get the string after the prefix (ABC-) you can use substr function. Something like this:

str newVal = subStr( yourString, 5, strlen(yourString));

str myInputStr = 'ABC-####'; str myOutputStr = strDel(myInputStr, 5, 4); info(myOutputStr);
info(myOutputStr + '1111');
