Hi I feel really dense for asking , because Im sure that this is 101 but,
How do I convert a string with "fgfdgdf-lklkllklkk" to "lklklklklkkk"
Like find position of "-" in string then chop from that position to the left.

Thanks :D

The SalesLogix scripting environement is MS VB Script compatible, so ou can use VB Scripts string function like

Len(string)

InStr([start, ]string1, string2[, compare])

Right(string, length)
Left(string, length)
Mid(string, start[, length])

Here is a pointer to an online refernece manual

' Remove any apostrophes!!!!!
'
For i = 1 To Len(strNotes)
If Mid(strNotes,i,1) = "'" Then
strNotes = Left(strNotes,i - 1) & " " & Right(strNotes,Len(strNotes)-i)
End If
Next

Every now and then you hit a wall with SalesLogix. Why isn't there a Replace function or am I missing something!!!!

We do a lot of custom data injections into SQL so this would come in handy.

Yuk, no need for that!!


Dim strA, strB

strA = "'sdjh'segh;dfsd'dfgdfgdfg'dfggdg'"
strB = Replace(strA,"'"," ")

MsgBox strA & vbCrLf & strB

Not on our version (5.0.0.1545) Obviously Replace was the first thing I tried but Compile Error 'Sub or Function not defined'

I know we're running a very old version but it works and we always find away around any coding issues. When you spend the rest of your time in C# and Visual Studio 2008 a bit of SalesLogix pain is fun.

Wow. Very old is an understatement. Going back to version 5.2 and below feels like crawling around in the crawl-space under a house for me.

The version of Basic used in SLX 5 and before (referred to "Legacy" in version 6 and above) is called "Cypress Enable."

There should be a PDF file in the SLX documentation called SalesLoxix2000 Developer Resource or lan_dev_ref_v5 that contains the documentation you need to develop in this environment.

Here's a "replace" function for Cypress Enable:

' HowTo - Function to Replace Strings in Strings with Strings
' From TheToolBoxX of rjlSystems

'
' Replace Function - Does Not exist in Slx V5.
'
' Usage:
' sStrippedPhone = Replace(sPhone2 , "-", "")
' sSQL = Replace(sSQL, "'", "''")
'
Function Replace(sStringVal As String, sReplaceStr As String, sNewStr As String) As String
Dim iPos As Integer
iPos = 1
Do
If iPos = 0 Then Exit Do
iPos = InStr(iPos, sStringVal, sReplaceStr)
If iPos > 0 Then
sStringVal = Left(sStringVal, iPos - 1) & sNewStr & Right(sStringVal, Len(sStringVal) - (iPos + (Len(sReplaceStr) - 1)))
iPos = iPos + Len(sNewStr)
End If
Loop
Replace = sStringVal
End Function
