Deleting a piece of a string...

I have a bit of a problem, in my draw event I have this:

Code: [Select]

cur_string = cur_string+keyboard_string
draw_text(0,0,""+string(cur_string))

if keyboard_string > ""{
 keyboard_string = ""
}
Basicly all it does is add the string the dude has typed and prints it.

 Anyway, how would I go about deleting a piece from the string? Like, if I pressed backspace, the last letter I typed would be deleted from the current string.

[Ps]
I know of the other way to print a string that someone types but it does not work for what I'm trying to do.

cur_string = string_delete(cur_string,string_length(cur_string)-1,1);

You also look like you need a space on that keyboard if then fork

Thank you WWFan.

This seems odd. Why not

Code: [Select]

cur_string += keyboard_string;
draw_text(0,0,cur_string);

I have certain coding habits from other programs that don't allow you to do that kind of thing. Meh, they do the same thing anyway.
