How can I get the first character of a text string stored in a variable?

Thank in advance

myString.slice(0,1)
myString[0].tochar()

Thanks from me, too. I needed to shorten the number of players string from nplayers.ini (e.g. "2P alt" to just "2"). In case someone wants that, too:

Code: [Select]


function playerStripped()
 {
        local pstrip = fe.game_info(Info.Players).slice(0,1);
        return pstrip;
 }
 
local playerText = fe.add_text( "Players: [!playerStripped]", x, y, w, h );
