Just can't seem to get it. The following verbose works, so I should just use it and be done with it. But I'm still curious. How would the following look in "contemporary" syntax:

  put "-" into char 5 of someString

Hi Cole,

Here's my 'true' dot syntax solution :
(using 'put' feels like cheating to me)


someString = someString.char[1..4] & "-" & someString.char[6..someString.char.count]


That having been said, 'put' works so straightforwardly that the hybrid (verbose + dot) seems like a much better approach. :)
