Demonstrates how to shorten a string contained in a Chilkat StringBuilder object by N chars.

Note: This example demonstrates the Shorten method which was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
integer li_Success
oleobject loo_Sb

li_Success = 0

loo_Sb = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Sb.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Sb
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// Load a file that contains this string:  0123456789ABCDEF
li_Success = loo_Sb.LoadFile("qa_data/txt/remove_chars.txt","utf-8")

loo_Sb.Shorten(3)

Write-Debug loo_Sb.GetAsString()

// Output is: 0123456789ABC


destroy loo_Sb
