Hi.

so let's say i have the following strings

str firstString = "123-345"

str secondString = xx-w

i want to detect the dash then  remove the dash and everything after the dash

so the output should be like this

 firstString = "123"

secondString = "xx"

I have the same question (0)

    Hi junior AX,

    You can use string functions - strFind and SubStr. You can check here for more examples.

    str firstString = '123-345;
    int pos;
    str newString;
    
    pos         = strFind(firstString, "-", 1, strLen(firstString));
    newString   = subStr(firstString, 1, pos-1);

    Hi junior AX,

    You could also use strDel method.

    Str example = 'ABC-111';
        info(strDel(example, strFind(example, "-", 1, strLen(example)), strLen(example)-strFind(example, "-", 1, strLen(example)) 1));
