Furthermore, the #-tag specification can be modified to choose only a selected part of the string.
The format for this is:
#<start character>.<character count><hash code>
Characters start at 1. The dot and character count may be omitted, in which case the tag
substitution begins at the specified start character and continues to the end of the tag. The
following examples should illustrate this:
Command
Result
PRINT “#TM”
055259
PRINT “#5.6TM”
59
PRINT “#3TM”
5259
PRINT “#1.2TM:#3.2TM:#5.2TM”
05:52:59
The final example illustrates the use of multiple #-tags substitutions in one string, in this case used
to re-format the time to contain colon separators.
The VAL function converts a piece of text to a number. Suppose you wanted to find the number of
hours, and number of minutes, and assign these to the BASIC general purposes variables H and
M. The following code would accomplish this:
LET H = VAL “#1.2TM”
LET M = VAL “#3.2TM”
