ex_string.nxc

This is an example of how to use the string API functions: StrToNum, StrLen, StrIndex, NumToStr, StrCat, SubStr, Flatten, StrReplace, FormatNum, FlattenVar, UnflattenVar, ByteArrayToStr, ByteArrayToStrEx, and StrToByteArray.

task main()
{
  string msgs[] = {"please work", "testing, 1, 2, 3"};
  string fmts[] = {"x = %4.4d", "0x%x"};
  string tmp = "123456";

  string a = "AA", b = "BB", c = "CC";

  TextOut(0, LCD_LINE3, StrCat(a, SubStr(tmp, 2, 3), msgs[0]));
  TextOut(0, LCD_LINE4, StrReplace(msgs[0], 2, StrCat(a, b)));
  NumOut(0, LCD_LINE5, StrIndex(msgs[0], 0));
  NumOut(0, LCD_LINE6, StrLen(msgs[0]));
