Hi Michael,
What's not easy with
? GetWordNum(m.lcString,1,",")
Or a loop like
FOR lnWord=1 TO GETWORDCOUNT(m.lcString,",")
? GetWordNum(m.lcString,1,",")
ENDFOR
Even the syntax in other languages isn't any easier, shorter or more
understandable. The GetWordNum() line would be in JavaScript (and probably
many other languages):
"Apple,Banana,Cucumber,Dates,Eggplant".split(",")[0];
Oh no, don't misread my initial post...I'm cool with using the
GETWORD... functions! I just recall seeing a different way and couldn't
recollect what it was (and if it was any better). I ended up leaving
the GETWORD... functions in my code, as it works and is clean (and can
run in VFP8).
