Re: Any easy way to change a string ? and a bug (or maybe a feature ?)

[Tim Dickson <dickson.tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

mid$ works fine for replacing a character in a string
eg.

DIM myString as String ="RETUIOPLJBDNLQSXNKNSXKSXKBSKXKBBB"

mid$(mystring,10,1)="Z"
print mystring
will give

RETUIOPLJZDNLQSXNKNSXKSXKBSKXKBBB
