- Using StringBuild in the 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
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"])
MyString1 is string

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: Character string Result string: the %X characters have been replaced by the specified parameters.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.Note: You also have the ability to pass the array in parameter by using the following notation: [<Element1>, ..., <ElementN>]. New in version 18

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