Basic string trimming function.
1 point by markkat 4991 days ago | 4 comments
Hi all. I'm looking for a function to trim a string at specific character. For example, I want to cut "hjhjs&kldj" at '&, and return "hjhjs".

I think I am thinking too hard... Thanks!

I'm not sure if you've seen it, but arcfn.com is a great arc reference guide: http://files.arcfn.com/doc/ There are a few things that I've found are out of date, but it's mostly accurate.

Here's the documentation for tokens: http://files.arcfn.com/doc/string.html#tokens

Thanks zck. I have it. But apparently that wasn't enough for me yesterday. :) BTW, and updated or Anarki version would be wonderful.
