- Using StringBuild in multilingual applications
StringBuild (Function) In french: ChaîneConstruit Builds a character string according to an initial string and to parameters.
MyString1 is string
MyString1 = "The %1 file cannot be opened by " + ...
"the user named %2. The %1 file cannot be accessed."
MyResult is string = StringBuild(MyString1, "Example", "Tintin")
// MyResult contains: "The Example file cannot be
// opened by the user named Tintin. The Example file cannot be accessed."
 Versions 18 and later
MyString1 is string
MyString1 = "The %1 file cannot be opened by " + ...
"the user named %2. The %1 file cannot be accessed."
MyArray is array of 1 string
MyArray[1] = "Example"
MyArray[2] = "Tintin"
MyResult is string = StringBuild(MyString1, MyArray)
// MyResult contains: "The Example file cannot be
// opened by the user named Tintin. The Example file cannot be accessed."
// You can also use the following syntax
MyResult is string = StringBuild(MyString1, ["Example", "Tintin"])
 New in version 18

Syntax
Building a string from parameters Hide the details
<Result> = StringBuild(<Initial string> [, <Parameter 1> [... [, <Parameter N>]]])
<Result>: Character string Result string: the %X characters have been replaced by the specified parameters. <Initial string>: Character string (with quotes) Character string containing optional parameters (%1 to %n). To display the % character in the <Result> string, this character must be typed twice (%%). <Parameter 1>: Optional character string (with quotes) First parameter that will be inserted into the formatted character string.
<Parameter 1> will replace the %1 character, <Parameter 2> will replace the %2 character, etc.
The number of specified parameters must be equal to or greater than the number of parameters used in <Initial string>.
If <Initial string> contains more parameters, the additional parameters will be replaced by empty strings. <Parameter N>: Optional character string (with quotes) Nth parameter that will be inserted into the formatted character string.
<Parameter 1> will replace the %1 character, <Parameter 2> will replace the %2 character, etc.
The number of specified parameters must be equal to or greater than the number of parameters used in <Initial string>.
If <Initial string> contains more parameters, the additional parameters will be replaced by empty strings. Versions 18 and later
Building a string from parameters stored in an array Hide the details
<Result> = StringBuild(<Initial string> [, <Array of parameters>])
<Result>: Character string Result string: the %X characters have been replaced by the specified parameters. <Initial string>: Character string (with quotes) Character string containing optional parameters (%1 to %n). To display the % character in the <Result> string, this character must be typed twice (%%). <Array of parameters>: Array Name of the one-dimensional array containing the parameters to insert into the formatted character string.
The first array element will replace the character %1, the second array element will replace the character %2, ...
The number of array elements must be equal to or greater than the number of parameters used in <Initial string>.
If <Initial string> contains more parameters, the additional parameters will be replaced by empty strings.Remark: You also have the ability to pass the array as parameter by using the following notation:
<Element 1>, ..., <Element N>

Remarks Using StringBuild in multilingual applications If your application contains messages displayed in several languages, StringBuild is used to replace the optional characters in all the supported languages. For example:
