Ugo DI LUCA Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hi, As many of you, I was pretty lost when I first tried myself with FM Text functions. This is a very quick Tutorial, reviewing with some examples, the main functionality and technique used for parsing and stripping text. I'd try to update it soon with a quick tool full of globals for some experimentation on these concepts. The "tutorial" terminology may be a bit pompuous. Consider it as an introduction. Building it even helped me review some of the main concepts. Thanks for any comment.

dkemme Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Wouldn't you know, that is exactly what I was doing at 5AM on this fine Saturday. Great examples. The Let function in FP7 really clears up scripting the start, end, start_pos, end_pos and lenght, helping reading the functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
