Improving string variable features

wmsgva

Hell Chris & Happy New Year,

I was wondering if you have any plans to improve the ActionList actions for variables to allow for improved treatment of string variables? For example:

-> Variable check action: Allow to check for a string's length or if it is empty

-> Variable set action: Allow to modify a string variable with operations such as Left/Right/Mid/Replace

I could write custom actions for these, but if you plan to do so, I think it would be useful for other users also.

I'm always open to suggestion, but it unfortunately (stupidity?) it's not easy to change the string conditions in Variable: Check Action without causing data loss due to the need for a new enum, without making the interface more cluttered.

If you've written such Actions to aid you, however, please consider sharing them - the AC wiki is there for sharing snippets with the community.
