String Parse

[Wings]

Hello,
I need to parse an AnsiString, I need to get the third character of a string eg:
String Number = "15432
char ParsedNumber = ???;//I need to populate this with the
third number (4 in this case)
any ideas?

Thanks

I believe that with AnsiString, the index will work. Just remember that AnsiStrings are one based instead of zero based (they start with the number 1 instead of 0).

String Number = "15432";
char ParsedNumber = (char)Number[3]; //I THINK this will work.

// If not, try 
String StrParsedNumber = Number[3];
int PNumber = StrToInt(StrParsedNumber); // You could put some error checking here
char ParsedNumber = PNumber;

I'm doing this from memory so use at your own risk. Good luck. James P. Cottingham

I solved it myself, thanks though.
I just used a substring

//accesses the third index and the first number of that index
sParsedExerciseNumber = sParsedExerciseNumber.SubString(3,1)

That'll work, too ;-) James P. Cottingham
