MidB Function

I've had problems with MidB before too - some scripts it works fine in, others (normally the ones I've bodged) it falls over on - never really understood why.

What are you trying to use the function for?

Is it possible you are sending it an empty string, or trying to reference past the end of the string?  That will give an error like you are seeing.

use the MidB function with byte data contained in a string, as in double-byte character set languages... i have seen this used in file-upload scripts often. the function is not for use with strings, but with byte data.

Thanks for returning and finalizing this question.  It would add value to questions any time you choose to grade less than an "A", to add comments as to why.  This enlightens both the experts and future Askers who look at this question for guidance.

Also, wanted to point you to the HELP DESK link on the left for Question/Answer processes, Member Agreement and the Guidelines.  Easy questions typically begin at a value of 50 points, the maximum per question is 300 points.  This one was posted for 10 points, despite that help was given.  All the more reason to expound on why the help you got felt less than excellent.
