How to extract number

Dear Gregory


"123456789" I want to extract single digit or double digit from any position.


Regards.

If this is a numeric value, you may find it most easy to convert it to a string first. For example, to get the first two digits, you could write:

maketext("%d",xxx)[1:2]

However, that will return it as a string. If you want it as a number again, you can write this:

tonumber(maketext("%d",xxx)[1:2])

If you want digits from the right of the string, you could use the modulo operator. The last two digits are:

xxx % 100

You can use divide and modulo to get middle sections of the string. For example, to get the tens and hundred digits, you would write:

( xxx / 10 ) % 100
