String
The string functions currently available in Tedds for Word are:
Function Description

StrLength(String1) returns the number of characters in

the given string. If a string variable is
given as the parameter, then gives
the number of characters in that
variable.

StrCompare(String1, String2, CaseInsensitive) compares two strings to see if they

are equal. The compare can be case
sensitive or case insensitive. If the
strings are equal the function
returns 0. If string1 is less than
String2 the function returns -1, if
String1 is greater than String2
 returns 1

StrEndsWith(String1, String2) checks to see if String1 ends with

String2, returning 1 if it does and 0 if
it does not.
The comparison is always case
sensitive and the function
recognises spaces.

StrInsert(String1, inserts String2 into String1 at the

String2, InsertPosition) position specified by InsertPosition.

StrFirstIndexOf finds the first instance of String2

("String1", "String2", SearchStartPosition, within String1 after
SearchRangeLength) SearchStartPosition and returns the
position of the first character. If
String2 is not found within
SearchRangeLength characters then
the function returns -1.
SearchStartPosition (the number of
characters from the start of String1
at which the search will start) and
SearchRangeLength are optional.

StrLastIndexOf("String1", "String2", finds the first instance of String2

SearchStartPosition, SearchRangeLength) within String1 after
SearchStartPosition and returns the
position of the first character. If
String2 is not found within
SearchRangeLength characters then
the function returns -1.
SearchStartPosition (the number of
characters from the start of String1
at which the search will start) and
SearchRangeLength are optional.
 StrPadLeft("String1", ReturnStringLength, pads the left hand side of String 1
"String2") with sufficient characters to make it
the length specified by
ReturnStringLength.
String2 is optional. If it is not
specified, then String1 will be
padded with spaces, otherwise it will
be padded by the characters in
String2.

StrPadRight("String1", ReturnStringLength, pads the right hand side of String 1

"String2") with sufficient characters to make it
the length specified by
ReturnStringLength.
String2 is optional. If it is not
specified, then String1 will be
padded with spaces, otherwise it will
be padded by the characters in
String2.

StrRemove("String1", DeleteStartPosition, removes NumberOfCharsToDelete

NumberOfCharsToDelete) characters from String1 starting at
DeleteStartPosition

StrReplace("String1", "Remove", "Replace") scans String1 and replaces all

instances of the Remove string with
the Replace string.
If the Replace string is the empty
string , then this will remove all
instances of the Remove string
completely.

StrStartsWith(String1, String2) checks to see if String1 starts with

String2, returning 1 if it does and 0 if
it does not.
The comparison is always case
sensitive and the function
recognises spaces.
 StrSubstring("String1", SubstringStart, obtains a string from the middle of
SubstringLength) String1, starting at SubstringStart,
and SubstringLength characters
long.
If you dont specify SubstringLength,
then the returned string will be the
remainder of String1 from
SubstringStart.

StrToLower(String1) converts String1 to lower case

characters.

StrToUpper(String1) converts String1 to upper case

characters.

StrTrim("String1", "UnwantedCharacters") removes UnwantedCharacters from

the start and end of String1.
UnwantedCharacters is optional. If
not specified, then removes spaces
from the start and end of String1.

StrTrimStart("String1", "UnwantedCharacters") removes UnwantedCharacters from

the start of String1.
UnwantedCharacters is optional. If
not specified, then removes spaces
from the start of String1.

StrTrimEnd("String1", "UnwantedCharacters") removes UnwantedCharacters from

the end of String1.
UnwantedCharacters is optional. If
not specified, then removes spaces
from the end of String1.

StrStart("String1", SubstringLength) obtains a string SubstringLength

characters long from the start of
String1.

StrEnd("String1", SubstringLength) obtains a string SubstringLength

characters long from the end of
String1.
 StrFormat("String1", Value1, Value2, ) Creates complex strings that contain
values.
Placeholders represent the position
of the values in the string, and can
specify formatting information for
the value.

String (VariableName or formula, "format", converts a number variable (or a

"unit") formula yielding a number) into a
string, and controls the formatting
of the string value.
The format parameter is optional, if
omitted the default format is
adopted.
The unit is optional, if not used and
the value has dimensions, base
system units will be used.

Str (VariableName or formula) converts an integer number variable

(or a formula yielding an integer
number) into a string.

EvalString("String1") evaluates the string as though it

were an expression.

value2,variable value Select(day,"Mon",2,"Tue",3,"Wed",4,"Thur",5,"Fri",6,"Sat",7,1)
3, returnvalue3, =1
variable value 4,return 1 is returned because select does not match any of the values.
value4, return value 5) If day were Wed, then 4 would be returned
