Hello Max!

There is no char access in VBS strings but you can work with strings parts like this

1.:

if Mid("abcKhhh",4,1) = "K" then
  MsgBox "It is a K!"
else
  MsgBox "It isn't a K!"
end if

2.:

dim s

s = "xxx_dd_02"

MsgBox Left(s,7) & "1" & Mid(s,9)

hi matthias,

thx a lot for help. the problem is, i need it in a diadem sequence (*.au) - no vb script :(. had a long search in the diadem help but no luck. maybe i will find some similar instruction for the diadem sequence.

thx a lot !

Hello Maexchen,

What version of DIAdem are you using? It is possible to mix AUT and VBS code (not recommended, but possible), so unless you are using a very old version of DIAdem, you might still be able to use  the VBS code.

Best regards,

Hello Mäxchen!

AUT is a little bit different It's a time ago that I used it and I'm in a hurry now. Some small hints: Look at the commands cop and del (should be still in the help). I will make you an example in the evening (GMT).

Hello all,

thx for help, with the commands cop and del and the Stringaddition (+) all works fine. the help is a little bit strange because its hard to understand if a command is for vbs or aut-sequence.

it would be interesting how to mix "aut-code" and "VBS-code" in a aut-sequence. this could be sometime very nice :).

i am on Diadem 9.1.

Thx for all help

Helo Max!

Nice that I could help.

To call VBS from AUT is easy! Have a look at the commands ScriptStatement and ScriptEvaluate or at this thread 'http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=60&message.id=3992&query.id=350780#M3992'

Have you tried the AUT->Script convert build in DIAdem? Give it a try. It produces 99.9% correct results (some verry unusual cases are not supported).

Hello Matthias,

will have a look to the other thread.

i can not convert the *.aut because it is a working test-stand where i had to implement a new test...
