Hi,
Line 120 is due to the fast that strings are not 0 based index. So what
would a$(0) be?
Under SMSQ/E at least, print a$(0) in the above example would give "10"
- which is the length of the string... Since this seems to be an
unorthodox behaviour, it's no wonder Qlib balks at it.
Line 105 makes no sense to me, just what should one expect from that?
(maybe the reversed string (2 to 4)???), this should probably raise an
error, just like line 110 does.
line 115 results in an empty strin,g - there is nothing before 0, so
nothing can be obtained. Again, this should probably raise an error.
Have fun

Hi,
Some other anomalies
100 a$ = "1234567890"
105 b$ = a$(4 to 3): REMark This works
110 REMark c$ = a$(4 to 2): REMark This fails with an error.
115 c$ = a$( to 0) : REMark no error returned
120 c$ = a$(0): : REMark no error returned BUT ERROR IF QLIBERATED
125 pause:stop
The problem of slicing strings was already discused here many years ago.
I think it was Marcel Kilgus who gave us some explanation.
