sub-string
hello Ferreters,
how to get a sub-string (or sub-word) from a symbol?
Say I write:
define symbol tt = `prec,return=tend` ! prec in the variable name
say ($tt)
!-> MESSAGE/CONTINUE 01-SEP-1998 00:00
01-SEP-1998 00:00
Now I want only the first part of the result string, i.e., 01-SEP-1998
I tried something like this:
ppl set tt1 $element(1," ",($tt))
which results in a blank string tt1
Calling another go file with ($tt) as argument and then assessing $1
in that go file works. But is there any other way so that I get it in
the same file itself?
thanks in advance,
arindam
