MID$ ISSUE

dna	(Posted 2015) [#1]

Hello

Why does the instruction:

Mid$(H$,J-1,1)=Mid$(H$,J,1):

not work? Is that a bug in BB?

It isn't a bug - you just can't use Mid() to replace part of a string.

Wow!!
That syntax works in some other versions of basic.

I'll have to rewrite it.

H$ = Replace$(H$, Mid$(H$,j-1,1), Mid$(H$,j,1))

would do the job.

If should be expressed like this:

H$ = Left(H$, J - 1) + Mid(H$, J + 1, 1) + Mid(H$, J + 1)

I never knew there was a replace command.
