<P>This could emulate your BASIC exemple: </P><PRE><script>
</PRE><PRE>a='nor pri'
b='sel' + a.substring(a.length, 3)
alert('a='+a)
alert('b='+b)
/*-------But here is another way you can use to treat the left member as variabile-----
-------while maintaining the right one as static, for more universal use,------------
-------no matter what is on the right, it will be preserved and whatever-------------
-------is on the left, it will get updated.------------------------------------------*/
a2='nor pri'
b2 ='sel'+ a2.substring(a2.indexOf(' '), a2.length)
b3 ='sel'+ a2.substring(a2.length, a2.indexOf(' '))//this is to add some confusion!
alert('a2='+a2)
alert('b2='+b2)
alert('b3='+b3)
