Dear guys,
Can any of you help me in appending a text at an insertion point in a text item in d2k ? For example,
I already have a text 'MY TEXT' in a text item and the insertion point is after the word 'MY'. Now I want to append another text 'BEAUTIFUL' after the word 'MY' so that the whole thing read as 'MY BEAUTIFUL TEXT'. Let me know how can I do this programmatically and not by typing. I need to know the position of the insertion point.
Thanks in advance

1 select 'My Text'
2 ,Substr('My Text', 1, Instr('My Text',' '))
3 || 'Beautiful '
4 || Substr('My Text', Instr('My Text',' ')+1,
Length('My Text'))
5* from dual
Test Db>/
'MYTEXT SUBSTR('MYTEXT',1
------- -----------------
My Text My Beautiful Text
What I am trying do is :-
1. Use the Instr Built-in function to look for
space " "
2. Extract all characters before the space " "
3. Append string "Beautiful"
4. Use the Instr bult-In again to scan for the
space " " and then extract all the remaining
characters after the occurance of the character
space " "
