Hi,

according to Wiki doc I tried this to get a substring

   String a = line.Mid(10&cedil; 10);

but the compiler cry:
C:\Vega\Vega3\ConnectDB.cpp:48: error: stray '\184' in program
C:\Vega\Vega3\ConnectDB.cpp:48: error: expected `)' before numeric constant

What is wrong with the previous code?

first of all, to many ";" in one line Smile

- should be ","...

If you believe or not I've copied and pasted it from my code. In it there was not the stupid "¸" but ','. So I wanted to post

   String a = line.Mid(10 , 10);

After your answer I came to the code again and I saw that the ',' was not a real ',' but some sign between ',' and '.' that I do not how appeared. Very strange indeed but it is not a fairy and I do not smoke anything! So "¸" is the HTML code of this ghost sign.
Anyway, after the substitution with ',' Mid( x,y) works and this is enough. Very Happy
