LayerStringSegment Function

Overview

The LayerStringSegment function lays one string on top on another string. The zero terminator of the source string is not layered.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = LayerStringSegment ( string target, string insert, int position );

Parameters

target

A target string upon which a string will be layered.

insert

A string to layer.

position

An int containing a zero-based position at which the string will be layered.

Return Value

Returns a string with target and insert combined at position or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve error information.

Remarks

The LayerStringSegment function layers one string on top of another at a specified character position. For example, layering the string “123” on top of the string “abcdef” at position 3 produces “abc123”. If position was beyond the end of the target string or if the size of the insert string when added to position exceeds the length of the target string, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_RANGE. The return string has a maximum size of 2MB. If the buffer is exceeded, the GetLastError function will return ERROR_OVERFLOW.
