Trimming a string in SKILL

archive

Could you please let me know if there is any way to trim a string in SKILL?
 
e.g.
Given string is ABCDEFG, MNOPEFG, IJKLEFG, WXYZEFG
 
I want ABCD, MNOP, IJKL, WXYZ and trim out EFG from the above.
 
Any suggestions...............

  • It's not clear to me what the criterion is for trimming the string.

    My guess is that you want to do something like this:

    rexCompile("EFG$") ; pattern meaning EFG at end of string ($ means end of string)
    rexReplace("ABCDEFG" "" 1) ; replace first occurrence of pattern with blank.

    Essentially, the rex functions are regular expressions.

    Alternatively, if criterion is positional (the first four characters), then it
    would be:

    substring("ABCDEFG" 1 4)

    Andrew.
