Truncate EL Text Object

[PeterBrazel 10]

Anybody know how to do this.

 

For example I have a number of say 1.4565 and want to display it on a chart as part of a text object with this number converted to 565.

 

Should be pretty simple but cannot find it anywhere.

First, you have to convert the number to a string.

(use either Text or NumToStr).

 

Then, extract the right portion of the string using RightStr.

RightStr

 

Returns one or more rightmost characters from the specified string expression.

 

 

Usage

 

RightStr( String, sSize )

 

 

Where:

 

String - a string expression from which the characters are to be taken

 

sSize - a numerical expression specifying the number of characters to be returned

 

 

Example

 

RightStr( "Hello World" , 5 ); will return a string expression "World"
