Hi, I have a variable called "comment" that contains a string of words that are separated by '~'
example:
comment
text text text text ~ text text
text text text text text ~ text text text ~text text
I would like to extract the text after the first ~ without losing the text behind the second or third or fourth ~ etc.
I tried using this code:
cm=scan(comment,1,"~");
But it only extracts the text after the first ~ and then stops once it reaches the second ~
Any help is much appreciated!
Hi Reeza,
Thank you for the quick response. Out of curiosity, what does the +1 signify?
