OK. When a user enters a variable like say
var1 bdate = “24”;
I want to split the variable into "2" and "4" so that I
can add the two.
Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year !Wow, I don’t think you can, but if there is a way, I would definitely want to know.
I know there is the split method for strings, but you need to have something to split at, such as a space or a symbol.
This has nothing to split at. Unless you can tell it to split after the first digit.
But I don’t know much string manip, so I will leave that to some experts. Sbeener will probably answer this one.
myString = "12";
i = myString.substring(myString.length-2, myString.length-1)+" "+myString.substring(myString.length-1, myString.length);
trace(i);//returns 1 2
That rocks h88.
Where did you learn your string manipulation skills? A book? Any online tutorials?
I tried teaching myself it by experimentation, and I have learned a lot, but I still have much more to go.
I think this answer’s your question:
myString = "12";
a = myString.substring(myString.length-2, myString.length-1)
b = myString.substring(myString.length-1, myString.length);
c = parseInt(a)+parseInt(b)
trace(c)
Nice, h88, but it will only work with 2 numbers. You should try to write a function instead 
That is nice.
Ilyas: Yeah, a function to do any amount of numbers would rock, but in this case, they only asked for a day, which is only a max of two numbers.
By the way, there’s an excellent thread at bit-101 about that kind of things:http://www.bit-101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=531
Thanks Ilyas.
And Lost, sure, but try this:
myString = "8";
a = myString.substring(myString.length-2, myString.length-1)
b = myString.substring(myString.length-1, myString.length);
c = parseInt(a)+parseInt(b)
trace(c)
pom 
Ok, time for me to put my ghetto coding ability to the test…lol.
myString = "8";
if (myString.length == 2) {
a = myString.substring(myString.length-2, myString.length-1);
b = myString.substring(myString.length-1, myString.length);
c = parseInt(a)+parseInt(b);
trace(c);
} else {
trace(myString);
}
All right all right, but it’s a bit dirty. A function is so much more elegant…
Yeah… true.
But my ghetto method still works though :beam:
True, true. I need a hairsplitting smiley. Eilsoe? Where are you man?
LOL… Hairsplitting? As in the good kind or the bad kind?
Is there a good kind? :evil:
Yes. There is hairsplitting which means to get into every detail, then there is hairsplitting in the way you probably meant it :beam:
Knowing me, I am probably the only person that has ever heard it both ways…lol.
Wow, i can’t believe that it’s possible using charAt:
myString = "12";
myString = parseInt(myString.charAt(0))+parseInt(myString.charAt(1));
trace(myString);
//returns 3

Why don’t you believe it?
