STRREVERSE$ function

[Arne Shulstad]

I am using PB/DLL 6.0

Tonight I tried using the STRREVERSE$ function for the first time and the following things occurred:

1) When I typed "STRREVERSE" in the editing window the text turned blue, but when I added the $ character the text reverted to black.

2) When I used "STRREVERSE$" and ran the compiler, the compiler treated STRREVERSE$ as a variable, not a function.

3) When I used "STRREVERSE" the compiler notified me of a missing variable declaration. (I used #DIM ALL at the beginning of the file).

Here is the code I used:

dim msg as string
dim tty as string
msg=STRREVERSE$(PARSE$(tty,1))

It's as if the compiler doesn't recognize this keyword at all. Any idea what's going on?

Hi Arne

the correct declaration for STRREVERSE is STRREVERSE$ - the PB
editor incorrectly highlighst STRREVERSE instead of STRREVERSE$.

The following is correct and works for me:

dim msg as string
dim tty as string
msg=STRREVERSE$(PARSE$(tty,1))

Have another look at your code

Cheers

Florent

Thanks Florent. The editor bug threw me.
