Strings

Function Asc(c$)

Returns the ASCII value of a character.


Function Chr$(n)

Returns the character with the matching ASCII value n.


Function Insert$(src$, tgt$, pos)

Returns a string containing str_to_insert$ inserted into src$ at a given position.


Function InStr(src$, substr$)

Returns the position in src$ where substr$ is found. If not found it will return -1.


Function LCase$(src$)

Returns src$ converted to a completely lower-case string.


Function Left$(src$, n)

Returns a substring n characters in length from the left side of the given string.


Function Length(src$)

Returns the number of characters in the given string.

Note: This function is the exact same as Len().

Length()


Function Len(src$)

Returns the number of characters in the given string.

Note: This function is the exact same as Length().

Length()


Function LTrim$(src$)

Returns src$ with all the spaces before the first non-space character removed.

RTrim(), Trim()


Function Mid$(src$, start, n)

Returns a substring n characters long starting at start pos.


Function ReplaceSubstr$(src$, rpc$, pos)

Overwrites the characters at the given position in src$ with rpc$.


Function Replace$(src$, tgt$, rpc$)

Replaces all occurrences of tgt$ with rpc$.


Function Reverse$(src$)

Returns src$ with the characters in reverse order.


Function Right$(src$, n)

Returns n number of characters from the right side of src$.


Function Rtrim$(src$)

Returns src$ with all the spaces after the last non-space character removed.


Function StringFill$(src$, n)

Returns a string filled with src$ repeated n times.


Function Str$(n)

Returns a number converted to a string.


Function Str_F$(n)

Returns a number converted to a string in fixed notation.

The number will be returned with 6 decimal places of precision.

Function Str_S$(n)

Returns a number converted to a string in scientific notation.

Str$(), Str_F$()


Function Tally(src$, substr$)

Returns the number of instances of substr$ in the src$ string.


Function Trim$(src$)

Returns src$ with all leading and trailing spaces removed.


Function Ucase$(src$)

Returns src$ with all characters uppercase.


Function Val(n$)

Converts a string to a number and returns the value.

Returns 0 if the string was not a valid number.


Function Size(s$)

Returns the size in bytes of a string.

The size will not always be the same as the length. For instance, a lot of unicode characters are represented by more than one byte.

Len(), Length()


Function BufferFromString(s$, ByRef buffer)

Stores the byte value of a string into a number buffer.

StringFromBuffer$()


Function StringFromBuffer$(ByRef buffer, buffer_size)

Returns a string generated from the character values stored in the buffer.
