I have a long string, I need to retrieve the string 'Q10071'
Here is the string

if( top.getvar('customer_state')=='TX' ) {top.show_question('Q10071');}

Is it possible to do that?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm confused. What does show_question() do? retrieve the string?
The following is the syntax for the subString method:

var x = someString.subString(start,end);

This is a long string which I am pulling from the database. I want to extract 'Q10070' from that long string

Hi,

var sIndex = 0;
var eIndex = 'Q10070'.length; // 6
if('Q10070'.indexOf(LongString) != -1)
{
sIndex = 'Q10070'.indexOf(LongString)
Str2Right = LongString.subString(sIndex, sIndex + eIndex);
Str2Left = LongString.subString(0, sIndex);
}

If you would like some more, see the "String Functions" script/tutorial at my site.
