What Language?

by JackOfAllTech In reply to function

How can we possibly help you if you don't tell us what language? However...
Basic:
cFirstChar = Left$(sInput, 1)

C:
cFirstChar = sInput[0];

Or as a BASIC function

by GuruOfDos In reply to function

Function FirstChar(String1$ AS String) As String
FirstChar=Left$(String1$,1)
End Function


Then call the function like

Input "Please enter your string...";A$
B$= FirstChar(A$)
Print "Your first character was ";B$

MS Excel Functions

by Thamer In reply to function

A1=account receivables
B2=LEFT(A1) equals "a"

Or
A1=account receivables
B2=LEFT(PROPER(A1)) equals "A" (Notice the function proper capitalized the first letter on the text in A1)

Or if
A1=[space]account receivables
B2=LEFT(PROPER(TRIM(B1))) equals "T" (Notice it did not count the space at the begining of the text since the function Trim will remove all spaces from the text except for single spaces between words.

... hmmm, what about the possibility of an entery which starts witha number and space or a compination of both ex. " 9 account receivables"? ... is it possible that you will have such input?
