| ok guys, i have looked at tutorials, ticalc, the manual, and posts on this site, and tries myself, but i cannot find how one finds a specific point in a string, say "ABCD"->Str0 i would like to change the 3rd one from C to N. i believe this has something to do with the dim( function, but i just cant find it! |

say you have the following string:
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ->Str0
If you want to know the place of the first D in the string, you could use this:
instring(str0,"D->A
A=4
It's like doing this:
1
While not(Ans>length("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ") or sub("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",Ans,1)="D")
Ans+1
End
If Ans>length("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"):0

Hmm, yes, strange I wrote that.
The above also shows better why it can be usefull with instring, you can just replace the 2 with instring-1 and the 4 with instring+1 and it'll replace the character.
"AHDSFJ->Str0
instring(Str0,"D
sub(Str0,1,Ans-1)+"D"+sub(Str0,Ans+1,length(Str0)-Ans->Str0 |

that only works correctly if you never choose the first character.
you must write 2 routines for that.
(3 because of the last character as well  )

Though I've never had problems with that, you could just do this:
" " + Str0 + " ->Str0
//replace code |

| Also you need an "If Ans" so it doesn't do your code if the letter is not in there. |
