Replaces a specified number of characters in a Variant (String) variable with characters from another string.
Syntax
Mid(stringvar, start[, length]) = string
The Mid statement syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| stringvar | Required. Name of string variable to modify. |
| start | Required; Variant (Long). Character position in stringvar where the replacement of text begins. |
| length | Optional; Variant (Long). Number of characters to replace. If omitted, all of string is used. |
| string | Required. String expression that replaces part of stringvar. |
Remarks
The number of characters replaced is always less than or equal to the number of characters in stringvar.
Note Use the MidB statement with byte data contained in a string. In the MidB statement, start specifies the byte position within stringvar where replacement begins and length specifies the numbers of bytes to replace.
