CharReplace function

[Snoopstah]

Is there a bug in CharReplace Function?

When I run the following code I get the value '10-10-2007' in the first MessageBox and then "10" in the second MessageBox.

Instead of the string replaced with null values where ever there are "-" characters, the string seems to be cut.

This is not simply due to the MessageBox function as it is propogated throughout the installer.

GetSystemInfo(DATE, nvDate, svDate);
MessageBox ("svDate = " + svDate, INFORMATION);        

CharReplace(svDate, STRTOCHAR(':'), STRTOCHAR('\0'), 0); 
MessageBox ("svDate = " + svDate, INFORMATION);        

How else can I go about replacing "-" with a "" or null value?

The '\0' character indicates an End of Line and null characters have special values within strings.

How about extracting substrings like this:

GetSystemInfo(DATE, nvDate, svDate);
MessageBox ("svDate = " + svDate, INFORMATION);        

listID = ListCreate (STRINGLIST); 
StrGetTokens (listID, svDate, "-"); 
nResult = ListGetFirstString (listID, svString);
svDate = "";
while (nResult != END_OF_LIST) 
    svDate = svDate + svString;
    nResult = ListGetNextString (listID, svString); 
endwhile; 

MessageBox ("svDate = " + svDate, INFORMATION);
