What are you doing that triggers this error? I'm guessing that you have
an array A of substrings (a special string type that represents a portion
of another string; e.g. this is used for regular expression matches) and
you are trying to assign an ordinary string to A[i]. This fails because
there is (currently) no conversion method defined from other string types
to substrings.
If you want to make your array A able to hold arbitrary strings, not just
substrings, you should give it a type that can hold arbitrary strings.
e.g. if you are using a comprehension to define A, you could give it a type
A = String[....] to say that A can hold arbitrary string objects.
