I've been working on a series of programs that use inString(. When I use it, it gives me a syntax error, and when I hit 2 to goto the error, it simply shows the name of the program as the error. Here's my code:
Code: Ans->Str6
inString(Str6,"X")->N
If N
Then
expr(sub(Str6,1,N-1))->L1(1)
I entered "4X^2" (Not in mathprint). Is there somewhere I'm using the command wrong? Is it a bug in the interpreter? Thanks.
That is the correct use of the inString() command. The only issue I see is if the input was not a string, but "4X^2" is a string. In fact, I went ahead and tried out your code, and it works fine. Make sure you put quotes around your input, and make sure none of the tokens are spelled out with letters, which can sometimes happen if you are exporting your code from an editor.
Also, it is obvious that this code is not your entire program, maybe the error is coming from somewhere else in your program, but that part should be fine.
