## Description Returns a field from a row of data. NthFieldB is identical to `String.NthField` except that it treats the source data as binary data. The first field is numbered 1. ## Usage *result*=**NthFieldB**(*source*, *separator*, *fieldNumber*) **OR** *result*=*stringVariable*.**NthFieldB**(*separator*, *fieldNumber*) | Part | Type | Description | |----------------|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | result | `String` | The field value desired. | | source | `String` | The string that contains the desired field, with the field separated by the *Separator* character. | | separator | `String` | The character that separates the columns of data. | | fieldNumber | `Integer` | The column number of the desired field. The first field is numbered 1. | | stringVariable | `String` | Any variable of type `String`. | ## Notes The NthFieldB function returns the field value from the source that precedes the *fieldNumber* occurrence of the separator in the source. If *fieldNumber* is out of bounds, an empty string is returned. NthFieldB is not case-sensitive. ## Sample code This example returns "Smith" ``` xojo Dim field As String field = NthFieldB("Dan*Smith*11/22/69*5125554323*Male", "*", 2) ``` --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using the second syntax: ``` xojo Dim s, field As String s = "Dan*Smith*11/22/69*5125554323*Male" field = s.NthFieldB("*", 2) MsgBox(field) ``` ## Compatibility All project types on all supported operating systems. ## See also `MemoryBlock`, `String.NthField`, `String.SplitBytes` functions.
