Manipulatting Strings

[RodS7]

I can't find a way to manipulate strings.

At this time, I need a way to extract the left most character of a string. For example, if a string's value is "Minute", I want to be able to extract the "M" and if a string's value is "Range", I want to be able to extract the "R"

Anyone have any suggestions?

I also want to be able to determine the length of a string etc.

Rod,

I would suggesting using the following reference here :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.aspx

NinjaScript is C#, and a data type like String as well as methods for these data types are already defined in that language.

thank you Adam. I searched the msdn section on the web, but this did not come up

I appreciate your help
