Re: chopping lots of characters

I realise I can probably use substr, but wondered if there was a cool way to do it with chop.

You mean, "I realize I probably should use substr, . . ." right? In other words, if I was your maintenance programmer, I would be very confused why you chose to repeat the same line four times instead of using substr. Memes develop for a reason.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

Not sure what Memes are...? But yes you are right, I just couldn't be bothered to look up the syntax ;-) but now you've made me feel bad i'll change it! thanks	[reply]
