Hi Team,

How can I read first variable wild - character.

i.e. '!!!!!!Darshan!!!!!.'

I wish to read only first wild characters not last.

these wild characters are not fix. i.e. it may contain '!!darshan!!'.

Please guide me.

Thanks,

Darshan.

Darshan,

In the above example !!!!!!Darshan!!!!!, what do you mean by a wild character? Are you looking to find the 'D' or the first '!'?

Hi Darshan,

You could use regular expression, like this:

FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF REGEX `[a-zA-Z]`

IN text OFFSET off.

text+off(1), then is what you wanted.

Archer
