Hi,

I have a string that needs to be split into 3 parts, city, state and zip.

Mycity, ST 12345
Yourcity, TS 12345-6789

I need each to be in a separate variable.

Any help would be great

Hello,


Here an example of how to work with PressTalk object.

- Just create a new document add your data (I used both lines you provided - 2 lines per pages)

Paste the following, you will understand the logic and you will be able to use it for your project.
Note that PressTalk could be used under and advance data selection or anywhere it allows you.

%Define the variables
define(&lInitialString,string,trim(@(2,1,23)))
define(&lLeftPortionStr,string,'')
define(&lLeftPortionStr2,string,'')

Show(&lInitialString)
crlf

%Look for the coma an extract the left portion
&lLeftPortionStr:=left(&lInitialString,pos(',',&lInitialString)-1)
crlf
Show(&lLeftPortionStr)


%New value of the initial string minus the left portion
crlf
crlf
&lInitialString:=mid(&lInitialString,pos(',',&lInitialString)+2,length(&lInitialString))
show(&lInitialString)


%Look for the space charactere
&lLeftPortionStr2:=mid(&lInitialString,pos(' ',&lInitialString)+1,length(&lInitialString))

crlf
show(&lLeftPortionStr2)

%New value of the initial string
&lInitialString:=&lLeftPortionStr2
