Hi Devs,
Trying to create a rule based style I encountered/used the 'substr'
function to find the first character of a field.
Isn't it strange that this function is one based while in all languages
I know this kind of function(s) are zero-based?
now it is:
substr('Hello',0,1) returns ''
while I expected it to return 'H'
but:
substr('Hello',1,1) returns 'H'
in QGIS3 there is also:
substr('Hello',-1,1) returns 'o' # ok
Are more functions one-based instead of (the normal?) zero-based?
Is it an idea to bring the expression(s) inline with other programming
languages?
Or is there a special reasoning not to do this?
Regards,
Richard
