conjunction with count.

(Optional) Number of substring substitutions to perform. If omitted, the default value is -1, which means make all
count: possible substitutions. Must be used in conjunction with start.

Split Function

Split: Returns a zero-based, one-dimensional array containing a specified number of substrings.

Syntax: Split(expression[, delimiter[, count[, compare]]])

Arguments:

(Required) String expression containing substrings and delimiters. If expression is a zero-length string, Split returns
expression:
an empty array, that is, an array with no elements and no data.

(Optional) String character used to identify substring limits. If omitted, the space character (" ") is assumed to be the
delimiter:
delimiter. If delimiter is a zero-length string, a single-element array containing the entire expression string is returned.

count: (Optional) Number of substrings to be returned; -1 indicates that all substrings are returned.

compare: (Optional) Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings.

Example:

'Space as Delimiter
Str="Welcome to the World of QTP"

'Split

SArray=Split(Str," ",-1)

For i= 0 to UBound(SArray)

Print SArray(i)

Next

'Comma As Delimitter

Str2 = "qtp"

Print StrComp(Str1, Str2, 1)

'Output--> Returns 0 , which means Str1 is equal to Str2 for textual comparison

Print StrComp(Str1, Str2, 0)

'Output--> Returns -1 , which means Str2 is greater than Str1 for Binary comparison

(Optional) Numeric expression that sets the starting position for each search. If omitted, -1 is used, which means that
start: the search begins at the last character position. If start contains Null, an error occurs.

(Optional) Numeric value indicating the kind of comparison to use when evaluating substrings. If omitted, a binary
compare: comparison is performed.

Example:

Str="How do you DO ?"

'InStrRev

Print InStrRev(Str,"DO",-1,1)
'Output--> 12 , which means it found the string in 12th position for textual comparison
