Scan Fun and Games

[jim wood]

Guys,

I've always had fun with Scan but I'm having trouble with it today. For some reason it keeps returning 0.

Here is the code for the variable being examined by the scan:

Code: Select all

V2=DimNm('}Groups',1);

Here is the result:

Issue Part 1.PNG (1.6 KiB) Viewed 2505 times

Here is the code for the scan:

Code: Select all

V3=SCAN(V2,'-GRP');

Here is the result of the scan:

Issue Part 2.PNG (1.53 KiB) Viewed 2505 times

I'm doing this in version: 10.1.1

It's late in the day and it may be something obvious so don't go kicking my door down if it is

Jim.

SCAN finds the first string in the second, not the second string in the first.

Thanks Duncan. I knew it would be something stupid like that. With the bad we've had this week, it's been a very long one indeed.
