Summary
Function: string llInsertString( string dst, integer pos, string src );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns the string dst with src inserted starting at pos.
| • string | dst | – | destination of insertion | |
| • integer | pos | – | position index for insert, first is 0 | |
| • string | src | – | source string to be inserted |
pos does not support negative indexes. i.e. unlike other somewhat similar string functions such as llGetSubString and llDeleteSubString, you cannot use -1 for the counting with this function. You may use instead the function provided a bit further below.
Caveats
- If pos is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.
Examples
llInsertString("input", 2, "put out")// returns "input output"
Useful Snippets
This function will allow you to use a negative number as the position:
string insertString(string destination, integer position, string str) {
if (position < 0)
if ((position += llStringLength(destination)) < 0)
position = 0;
return llInsertString(destination, position, str);
}
