charAt for String in Ebasic?

[Junho Oh]

Hello,

I am new to Eprime and Ebasic and I have been fiddling around with string manipulation. 

Is there no way to get the index of a particular character in a string (eg. charAt in Java)? And is there no way to get the substring either?

Thank you very much for your help!

Check the E-Basic manual for InStr() and Mid().

Junho,

Just to clarify, by "get the index of a particular character in a
string" you actually mean "get the character at a particular index in
a string" (I Googled "java charat" to verify that). For both that
and getting substrings, see the "Mid, Mid$, MidB, MidB$ (functions)"
topic in the E-Basic Help facility. Note BTW that VBA/E-Basic
strings are not objects as they are in Java.

(And to get something akin to "get the index of a particular
character in a string", see the "InStr, InStrB (functions)" topic in
the E-Basic Help facility -- I do not know what the Java equivalent
might be for that.)

Good luck,
