Hi Peter,
thank you very much for your quick reply. Indeed, the example does work with
the fixed offset.
Although it's a minor issue, you might consider fixing the example in the Ruta
documentation.
It was confusing, that even the simple example from the documentation didn't
work,
while examine a problem in our application using the string function from the
ruta extension jar.
Thank you again.
Best regard,
Wolf-Dietrich Materna

Betreff: Re: How to use string functions from ruta-core-ext in Ruta
Hi,
it should work just fine (tested with current trunk).
The substring function like the other string functions just delegate to the
java methods. Thus, the substring from 0 to 8 returns "Alexande".
The example should work with : CW{-> MATCHEDTEXT(s), ADD(sl, substring(s,0,9))};
Best,
Peter
