Hi,
I need to use Julia's string functions to manipulate a string from a user
input. Julia keeps giving an error. Strings defined directly in the code
seem to work fine with Julia's string functions.
>From the code snippet below, the string defined for "b" gives the correct
output.
For "c", code fails at line 19 with the following error message:
ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: 'get index' has no method matching
getindex(::Symbol, ::Int64)
in include at boot.jl:261
in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:304
If line 19 is commented out, it fails at line 20 with the following error
message:
ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: 'length' has no method matching
length(::Symbol)
in include at boot.jl:261
in include_from_node1 at loading.jl:304
Need suggestions on what is wrong/missing in my code.
Thanks,
Jose
