[General] Substring Clauses.

[khamarr3524]

I was wondering if substrings start on 0 or 1. I couldn't tell really. Anyone know? Also, how does the substring clause begin. Does it count the place value of the one it starts on the the one right after?

It starts at 0 so 0,1 would be just the first character of the string. Likewise 1, 2 would be just the second character of a string.

Be aware that GUI substring is offset from the native in an obscure way. Read the usage descriptor to see how it works.

So under that, if i get the text "-settext red" and call the substring(myString, 9, 15). Would it return the string "red "?

In GUI, the substring starts at 1. If you are using GUI, you would want it as SubStringBJ(string, 10, 16) to return "red"

If you are using JASS and just using the normal SubString native, then it starts at 0 and you would want SubString(string, 9, 15) to return "red"

I'm using Jass, but if i put extra spaces it wont place multiple spaces after it?

Edit: I.E. If i get the string "red" and do local string red = SubString("red", 0, 5) Would it set local string red to "red " with the two spaces included because I "overshot" the amount of spaces it takes? In the sense that it 0,1 represents "r", 1,2 represents "e" and 2,3 represents "d", would 3,4 and 4,5 represent " " and " ", adding 2 spaces to the end of "red"?
