Re: Array Help

[marshall@xxxxxxxxxxx]

You could do it with a char array, but why?  Substring method is much easier!  Be careful with the parms as they are a little strange.  The starting position is inclusive and the ending position is exclusive.  Also like most things in Java, it is zero based.

Hi Folks,

Wondering if some one can help me with some java array processing. I have a
string field 46 characters long that I would like to load to an array and
then extract specific positions of the array like positions 5 to 9. Is there
a better way to do this? Like maybe using a "substring" function on the
string field?

THANKS IN ADVANCE
