Hi,
Example:
given a string:
str := '2015-09-14 14:46:50 downloadrate (813 KB/s)'
if i want to get the first word ( worddelim is space ) i use:
Result := ExtractWord(1 ,str,[' ']);
Result is '2015-09-14'
That's clear :-))
But!
If i want to extract '(813 KB/s)', i have to extract the SECOND word!!
Result := ExtractWord(2 ,str,['( ', ')']);
Result is '813 KB/s'
My question:
Why do i have to extract the SECOND word? The word inside () occurs just
once!
Because you cannot specify separate begin and end separator, just 'separators'.
( is a separator, so everything before ( is the first word.
if you specify ( ) as separators, there are 3 positions in the text:
before (, between ( and ) and after ).
(the last one is empty)
Michael.
