Setting the value of specific string letters.

It seems that one can read the value of a string at any index however one cannot change a string's letter at a given index.'does not work Local s:String = "xxx" s[1] = "a" 'does not work Local s:String = "xxx" s[1] = 64 Both give the error "Compile Error: Expression must be a variable" |

Not quite what you're looking for but...Local str:String = "dord" SetIndex(str, 0, "w") Print str Function SetIndex(str:String Var, index: Int, newChar:String) str = str[0..index] + newChar + str[index+1..] End Function |

Thank you so much. This is for a text buffer for a text only game so this will help. |
