I am having trouble with this cut. I am basically trying to cut the string so that i can insert the users guess at the appropriate point in the string.
$letters is the character count of the $word.
What it seems to do is cut the character into the string but then extend the original mask instead of replacing it entirely.
Will i have to add an extra piece that allows me to cut from the first character in the string if that is where the guessed letter is?
Or is there a slightly easier bit of code that I am overlooking.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I am very new to coding so it probably isnt the simplest way to do it, but I dont want to redo the whole function with syntax im not entirely sure of.
I have a file name coming in as such
<string>_YYYYMMDD.DAT
The string could be anything. I want to cut out the date and put it in a variable. Can someone help me with this? (4 Replies)

WORDWRAP(3) 1 WORDWRAP(3)wordwrap - Wraps a string to a given number of charactersSYNOPSIS
string wordwrap (string $str, [int $width = 75], [string $break = "0], [bool $cut = false])
DESCRIPTION
Wraps a string to a given number of characters using a string break character.
PARAMETERS
o $str
- The input string.
o $width
- The number of characters at which the string will be wrapped.
o $break
- The line is broken using the optional $break parameter.
o $cut
- If the $cut is set to TRUE, the string is always wrapped at or before the specified $width. So if you have a word that is larger
than the given width, it is broken apart. (See second example). When FALSE the function does not split the word even if the $width
is smaller than the word width.
