I cannot for the life of me work out what is wrong here:
I have a rich edit box displaying the output from a pipe object. the output is simply
"hello$"
i want an edit box to display hello, so i used the following code
Set Edit Box to (get text("rich Edit Object"),<first character>,<second character>, the first character is obviously 1 and the second character i have done as (number of characters - 2)
I have done it this way as the string output by pipe is variable.
The Edit box then displays hello$"
why??

ok i have tried 3, the problem is that i am running through pipe an application called dsquery, which interrogates active directory.the reultant output of dsquery takes the form mentioned before:
"hello$"
I need to retrieve just the hello part but like i said the string itself is variable in length. at the moment as i can't test it at home because i don't have AD installed it returns (it is an app i'm making for work):
dsquery failed:The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
type dsquery /? for help.
this is ok because i can still employ the formula
GetText$( "Rich Edit Object", 1, (GetNChars( "Rich Edit Object" )-2))
the problem is that the result of the formula is
SQUERY FAILED:THE SPECIFIED DOMAIN EITHER DOES NOT EXIST OR COULD NOT BE CONTACTED.
TYPE DSQUERY /? FOR HEL
Whats the problem you ask? the last 2 chracters are missing as is the first, thats what you want isn't it?
Yes it is but i have not modified the code in anyway shape or form and when i run it at work i get the result:
hello$"
so my question is this does anyone have access to AD and cmd prmpt so they can get me an output into a text file so that i can see what the hell is going on??? LONG SHOT!!!!
