How to find a space in a string?

[Lukas]

Hi everyone.
How do I find a space in in a string with George?

Code: Select all

FirstPos(layerName," ")

Always returns "0" even though there are definitely spaces.

It looks like George doesn't handle spaces in strings very well. I stumbled upon this bug report: http://forum.tvpaint.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=11792

You can always use the PARSE option that separates each instance between spaces

Ahh, good idea! I've used that and replaced the spaces with underscores so I can search for the last underscore instead. Thank you!!!

Code: Select all

PARSE LayerName LayerName1 LayerName2 LayerName3 LayerName4 Layername5
IF CMP(Layername5,"")==0
	PRINT "This layername has too many spaces: "LayerName
END
IF CMP(LayerName4,"")==0
	LayerName = LayerName1"_"LayerName2"_"LayerName3"_"LayerName4
ELSE
	IF CMP(LayerName3,"")==0
		LayerName = LayerName1"_"LayerName2"_"LayerName3
	ELSE
		IF CMP(LayerName2,"")==0
			LayerName = LayerName1"_"LayerName2
		END
	END
END
lastUnderscore = LastPos(LayerName,"_")
