Echo

by Robert Stewart · in Torque Game Engine · 10/24/2004 (5:19 pm) · 6 replies

I am trying to do a echo in torque script, in a way so that it will goto to character, here is an example
"%line = "12345";"
I only want to echo the 5th character, is this possible? thanks.

Try this:

function getLastChar(%line)
{
     %lastChar = getSubStr(%line, strlen(%line)-1, strlen(%line));
     return %lastChar;
}

As an example, echo(getLastChar("12345")); would return '5'. Hope this helps.

That would return 12345.... words are seperated by spaces, so if you had:

%mystring = "Hello World!";

getWord(%mystring,0); // "Hello"
getWord(%mystring,1); // "World!"

You could also use "getSubStr(string str, int start, int numChars)"
