InstallShield InstallScript: Strings Note regarding InstallScript versions: The samples on this page have been developed with various versions of InstallShield. Some of them require a minimum InstallShield version or may only work in the one version they have been created for. Often it will be possible to make them compatible with other InstallShield versions. Here's an IS5 function that changes all backslashes ( ) to foreward (/) slashes in a path. Useful when configuring some webservers, java related stuff, etc. Test program included. Prototype SlashSwitch(STRING, BYREF STRING); (449 Bytes) Provided by This routine replaces InstallShield's StrCompare function which is not case sensitive (which is required for passwords).

Hello, I am facing one problem while calling the function of a.NET dll through installshield developer 7.02. I have written a.NET dll with a function fnSampleDll. This routine replaces InstallShield's StrCompare function which is. And replace this with NULLs immediately before you call the registy function. Hi Robert This is how I declare the function //Installshield prototype definition prototype cdecl VOID SomeDLL.SomeFunctionA(BYVAL STRING, BYREF LONG).

It compares string length first, then the string content, byte by byte. Prototype CompareStrings(STRING, STRING) (749 Bytes) Provided by Another solution would be to call the lstrcmp WinAPI. It returns 0 if the strings are identical: prototype INT KERNEL.lstrcmp(STRING, STRING); If you call StrGetTokens with ' n' as delimiter, a 0x0d character is appended to the tokens. This wrapper for StrGetTokens removes the trailing 0x0d characters from the tokens. Prototype MyStrGetTokens(BYREF LIST, STRING, STRING); Written by File size: 788 bytes Last update: 2000-11-10 This subroutine returns the nPiece-th piece of string szString, delimited by szDelim, in szPiece.

For example, GetSystemInfo (DATE, szDate, nNotUsed); // '3-12-1999' StrPiece (szDayOfMonth, szDate, '-', 2); // '12' Now szDayofMonth contains the day of the month. Prototype StrPiece (BYREF STRING, STRING, STRING, NUMBER); Written by File size: 735 bytes Last update: This function parses the date returned by GetSystemInfo into different, predefined formats. Prototype FormatDate( STRING, NUMBER, STRING, BYREF STRING); (6.405 Bytes) Provided by This function takes a number variable and returns a string properly formatted with commas.
