String to Insert – The string that will be inserted into the Source String.

The value of String to Insert may be a String tag, a literal string enclosed
in single quotes (‘ ’), or some other logical expression that is evaluated
every time the block is executed.

To configure the Source String parameter, click the

button to open a

standard

dialog.

Start Position – The starting position at which the String to Insert will be
inserted. The first character of the Source String is equivalent to a Start
Position of 1.

The value of Start Position may be an Input/Memory/Output tag, a literal
numeric value, or some other logical expression that is evaluated every
time the block is executed.

B.3.6 String Delete

This command can be selected from the

String commands

list.

When used in a Flow Chart, the String Delete command deletes a specified
number of characters from a given string and writes the result to separate String
tag. This is different from the String Left, String Right, and String Mid commands
above; the output is the remainder of the given string rather than the characters
that were deleted from it.

Parameters for this command include:

Destination String – The String tag to which the result of the command
will be written.

To configure the Destination String parameter, click the

button to

open a standard

Select String Tag

dialog.
