remove_section ( string ; pos ; delimiter )

[Julian L]

Name & Parameters: [color:red][big] remove_section ( string ; pos ; delimiter ) [/big]

Description: Will remove a section from the given string.

string = The string to be altered

pos = The section to remove

delimiter = The section definer

For the delimiter, it is recommended to use one character long delimiters, for FM returns unconsistent values. This isn't saying it won't work, just don't count on it.

Sample Input:

remove_section ( "this-is-not-so-cool" , 3 , "-" )

Results:

this-is-so-cool

Recursive: no

Formula:

Let ([

$cfstr = string;

$cfstr = Substitute ( $cfstr ; delimiter ; "¶" );

$cflen = Length (GetValue( $cfstr ; pos ));

$cfposition = Position ( "¶" & $cfstr ; "¶" ; 1 ; pos );

$cfstr = Replace ( $cfstr ; $cfposition ; $cflen+1 ; "" )

];

Substitute ( $cfstr ; "¶" ; delimiter )

)
