XML: Displaying only part of a string or number: ssub
Thanks go to Roelof Kruijer (AVSIM Forum, I think, 8 August 2006) and Paul EGLD (AVSIM Forum, 18 March 2011) for pointing out the correct syntax and capability of the ssub string operator (ala FS9):
'ABCDEFGHIJK' 0 4 ssub
extracts characters starting at character 0 with a length of 4. So,
'ABCDEFGHIJK' 0 4 ssub
results in 'ABCD', and
'ABCDEFGHIJK' 3 6 ssub
results in 'DEFGHI', and
<String>%('Amsterdam' 2 4 ssub)%!s!%</String>
results in 'ster'.
More examples:
'ABCD123' 2 5 ssub returns the string CD123
'ABCD123' 2 6 ssub also returns the string CD123
The online SDK states only
'ab' 'abcde' ssub
results in 'cde', which is incorrect.
