selecting single or multiple letters in a string type variable

[timtimpei]

i was wondering how would you select a single or multiple letters/characters from a string type variable.

for example:

var name : string := "PETER"

and i only want to display the second letter of this name, in this case, the E.

is it possible? if not, wat is another solution?

strings can be used like arrays in which every letter has a spot in the string. So to only call the second letter in the string use " name(2)"
you can also look into the "index" function in the turing help files for other string manipulation technics.
