Okay. Lets try this with another question=):

what im trying to do is to break out a value from a string.

if i got a string like:
var dbreply='#ID#="11"';

and whant to convert the 11 to a integer value?!
the 11 value can variate..
How do I do this?

var dbreply='#ID#="11"'; //original string
var i = dbreply.indexOf("\""); // finds " in the string
var int = i.substring(1,3); // takes out whatever is between the " marks

alert("My Integer ="+ int);


This assumes that your integer is always a 2 digits in length

Not sure if it'll work, only just knocked it up quickly

I thought the
var i=dbreply.indexOf("\""); only returned the index of the matching sting (in this case the " character).
So i should only containt a integer that should countain the index to the " character?

Hmmm yep yep


var startPos = dbreply.indexOf("\"");
var endPos = dbreply.indexOf("\"")+3;

var int = dbreply.substring(startPos,endPos);


Try that? I'm very new to JScript still so I'm really just putting down what comes to mind.

Sorry,

var endPos = dbreply.indexOf("\"")+3;

should be..

var endPos = dbreply.indexOf("\"")+2;

still assuming a 2-digit number
