Strings and characters... suma?

[bn880 5]

I would like to ask if there is currently a workaround to extracting the characters of a string in OFP. It appears that we have no ability to take a custom string and perform any operations on it.

Yes strings can be concatenated and compared to a previously assembled string, but all this locks the ability to translate a string into a series of ASCII key codes.

We have tried various approaches, but are usually locked with the error that the command will not work on a String. Commands such as select, set, -.

Please consider overloading array functions to work with strings, with this all subsequent functions could be created, to create a full string library allowing for every desired operation.

string = "suma"

letter3 = string select 3;

?(letter3 == "a"): string set [3,"o"];

or some other string function(s)

Otherwise we would appreciate hearing if there are no plans on string functions.

I can confirm there are no plans on string functions to current OFP and OFPR products. As for future products, it is very likely it will be added, but I cannot tell it for sure yet.

Thank you. We appreciate the info.

Would be enough to have a function, which converts a string into an array of characters. A lot of new features could be build then

Example:</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_strArray = Str2Array "Hallo"

<span id='postcolor'>

_strArray then equals ["H","a","l","l","o"]

hhmm...yes....kind of thinking scripts to make morris code signals with lights or flares possible.... its possible now, but would be more user friendly
