How to pick one character from a string?

[Moas]

Hello everybody!
Could you please help me with the chunk of code that would cut out a character from specified position of a string variable?

For example I have declared

Code: Select all

var
Slovo : string [10];
Pismeno : byte;

And I would like to cut out the third (or any else) character from left from the "Slovo" and store it in the "Pismeno".

All methods I was able to prepare were too complex and too memory-consuming. I am sure there is a way to do this nicely. Maybe even a standard command which I overlooked... Yet I am not able to figure that out. I went through last 20 pages of this forum and found no answer.

Thank you!

You could use StrRemoveChr procedure from a library presented here http://www.mikroe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11873. First you should store the character by simple assingment Pismeno:=Slovo[2] (third char has index 2).

Thanks janni for this hint, but is there a way to do this for PIC16? :oops:

Hi Dany, thanks a million for this, I will try the "Copy" command which should be exactly what I am looking for!
