Hi,

Please check the help page of action Script (or on the website here: http://automagic4android.com/en/help/co ... ion_script).

Following functions could be useful:

• Boolean contains(String s, String search)
• Number indexOf(String s, String search)
• Number indexOf(String s, String search, Number start)
• String replaceAll(String s, String regex, String replacement)

Regards,
Martin

I want to split the string based on nature of character i.e. alphabet,number,special character

Example -

String -ABC DETAILS 123456 ##$

RESULT -
ABC DETAILS
123456
##$

How Do I do that?
regards

Use:

Code: Select all

List split(String s, String pattern)
Splits the string s into a list of strings by using the regular expression pattern as the delimiter. (see Regular expressions.)

See Action script and search for it

The help page of action script also contains a link to a page with some examples:

The examples Create a list of lines from a multiline text and Create a list of words should be helpful.
