string_char_at

Checks a given string and returns the character at a given position.

Syntax:

string_char_at(str, index)

Argument	Description
string str	The string to check
int index	The position to get the character from

Returns: char

Description

You can use this function to return a specific character at a specific position within a string, with the index starting at 1 for the first character. If no character is found or the string is shorter than the value given to index, an empty string "" is returned.

Example:

string str1 = "Hello World";
char chr = string_char_at(str1, 7); 

This will set chr to the seventh character ("H" counting as the 1st) in string str1, in this case "W".
