Thread: Trouble with substring

Hello,

I'am a totally newbie
I tried all morning to get the firstletter from a string.

AnsiString SomeText = DBEditVoornaam->Text;
AnsiString FirstLetter;
FirstLetter = SubString(0,1)SomeText;

DBEditVoorletter->Text = FirstLetter;


I looked in all the help files, but the compiler keeps saying undefined function Substring. (borland)
I have include string.h in the header

Can someone help me out, i'm getting desparate

Sure you use it the right way, shouldn't it be something like:

FirstLetter = SomeText.SubString(0,1);

thnx it works
