Possible to split a variable

Hi there i have a variable that is a number and i was wondering if i could set multiple text objects to different values in the variable.

For example is the variable is 156 would it be possible to set one text object to the 1 (hundreds value) another to the 5 (tens value) and the last one to the 6... all of the same variable.

you can make it a string (str(var)) and use the mid function to get a specific character

or

calculate the value with math: h=int(var/100), t=int((var-h*100)/10), s=var-h*100-t*10 (in this order)

A general mechanism with the mid() expression.

tokenat("text", index, separator)

text="1,5,6"

int(tokenat("text", 0, ",")&tokenat("text", 1, ",")&tokenat("text", 2, ","))

One more method! Math based, use modulo (%).

x=156

a=floor(x%10) = 6

b=floor((x%100)/10) = 5

c=floor((x%1000)/100) = 1

But still first method mercury mentioned is probably most straightforward.

mid(str(x),0,1)=1

mid(str(x),1,1)=5

mid(str(x),2,1)=6
