'String.Insert' node - Meaning of index

Packages
1

Hi all,

Wondering if someone can help me understand what ‘index’ is doing as part of the 'string.insert node?

I use zero as that is what I found to work, I have experimented with changing the number as I orginally thought it was referring to the item listed, and was a start point, but it does something wierd to my numbers if I change it to say… 2. …eg: 60A0 ???

trying to understand one node at a time! Thank you for your help.

Here, the index of D is 0, Y is 1, N is 2 …

Can this go right to left? I’ve tried feeding it negative numbers but that didnt seem to work :frowning:

To work backwards, you could subtract a positive number from the value of String.Length.
