Im looking for a help. How to learn string manupulation in pys60.

I want to:

__variable = "hello world"

LEFT(__variable, 2) ---> he
RIGHT(__variable,2) ---> ld
parametercount(__variable,' ') ---> 2
parametervalue(__variable,1,' ') ---> hello
substring(__variable,7,5) --->world

anybody can help?

1. LEFT(__variable, 2)  ---> he
2. RIGHT(__variable,2)  ---> ld
3. parametercount(__variable,' ')  ---> 2 
4. parametervalue(__variable,1,' ') ---> hello
5. substring(__variable,7,5) --->world

These are basic Python questions and not about PyS60. I suggest you read an introductory book to Python, such as the freely available Dive Into Python.

Anyway, most of your questions can be answered with list (and string) splicing:

1. __variable[:2]
2. __variable[-2:]
3. len(__variable.split())
4. __variable.split()[0]
5. __variable[6:11]    # Python counts from 0.

Hi jethro! You again!



Its seems String handling in python is much more simplier than the VISUAL BASIC Im using.

Thank you! a lot of thanks!
