Let's take the following string for instance: HelloWorld I want to go to the 5th position in the string from the right and insert a space returning: Hello World Also, it has to work with a variable, e.g. I store the number "5" into a variable: set posInStr=5 and then use that variable to place a character in the string at that variable's position. In total, what I'm picturing is something like this: CODE set myVar=HelloWorld set posInStr=5 #:: Break String Into 2 Variables At The 5th Position Here #:: We'll Call Them "strA" and "strB" echo %strA% %strB% As you can see, all I need is the code on how to harvest a string based on a variable. I know about: %variable:~start,end% however, I can't get it to work with a variable position, e.g. %variable:~start,%posInStr %% This post has been edited by Master Jake: 14 Oct, 2009 - 08:22 AM
