Clean unwanted characters in a string, is there a function?

Postby arjfca » 19 Jun 2012

Hello

I got a strange result from a function that i have created. The function is manipulating numbers as characters. Read the High of the day, transformed the value as a string then add this new string to a bigger string. Later, these value are read back and re-transformed as number

Is there a function to clean any un-printed characters that may reside in a string. A similar function do Exist in Excel, but I can find any in MC

Hello Martin,

Unfortunately, there is no such function. The only workaround is to write an external dll function that does this.
