Pex Posts: 10 Rating: (0)	I create a string in a FC containing measurement to be sent via RS-232 serial I am forced to access the defined string by index like... L B#16#0 // 0 T "SEND_SRC_DB_SI_0".SEND_TEXT[2] L B#16#5A // Z T "SEND_SRC_DB_SI_0".SEND_TEXT[3] L B#16#D // CarrigeReturn T "SEND_SRC_DB_SI_0".SEND_TEXT[4] But I would like to assign it something like this without the index for each position.. L '0Z' // complete string without CR T "SEND_SRC_DB_SI_0".SEND_TEXT Is it possible?

What you could do is read in the STRING and use one of the IEC String functions from Step7 ("Standard Library" --> "IEC Function Blocks") to edit the original STRING and then create a new STRING. You could possibly used "DELETE", "RIGHT" or "LEFT to extract the relevant parts of the STRING. It all depends on whether your STRING is always the same length, whether you want to modify different parts of the STRING in different conditions etc.
