Confused about mid() command

[Marcus]

hmm... Interesting response... I am receiving mixed messages... On one hand, "can't" (cannot) implies a "No"... But, "can't really" implies a measure of doubt and conveys a possible interpretation of... "No. But I dare you to try". I enjoy a good puzzle, but when it comes to coding, I find myself at the shallow end of the "smart" pool... lol

Not a problem... Time for new train of thought... The only problem is that I do not have a ticket... Boom Boom.... lol

Thank you for responding...

Haha

Strings are like numbers. You can't change a string without getting a new string. That's why mid/left/right/replace all return new strings. It doesn't really matter. There's no simple way of replacing a character at a certain index in a string with another character. If you know what character it is, you could probably use 'replace' to get a new string:

Code:

foo = "ABCDEF"
pln "foo = " + foo

foo = replace(foo, "C", "Z")
pln "foo = " + foo

system "pause"

Output:
foo = ABCDEF
foo = ABZDEF
