POSINS()
Inserts characters at a particular position within a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
POSINS(<cString>,<cInsertstring>,[<nPosition>])
--> cString
Arguments
<cString> Designates the character string into which characters are
inserted.
<cInsertstring> Designates the new characters that are inserted
into <cString>.
<nPosition> Designates the position where the new characters are
inserted within <cString>. The default value inserts the characters in
front of the last character.
Returns
POSINS() returns the string with the inserted characters.
Description
You can use POSINS() to insert characters into an existing character
string. The <cInsertstring> characters are inserted into the <cString>
at the location specified by <nPosition>.
Note
. The resulting character string is longer than the original, so
this function cannot be called by reference.
Examples
. Insert "123" at position 2:
? POSINS("abcdefgh", "123", 2) // "a123bcdefgh"
. Insert "123" at position 8:
? POSINS("abcdefgh", "123", 8) // "abcdefg123h"
. Give an erroneous position:
? POSINS("abcdefgh", "123", 10) // "abcdefgh"
