I tried from my computer at work to enter a string in SMath Live and could not. When ever I type " the unit cursor appears.

It appears string functions findstr and subst don't work in user functions, maybe others. Probably because when the function is created the parameter is null not a string. The string functions must test for a string.

Hello Ed,

Quite strange, but this will work as a workaround.

Actually, it seems that line() is needed in order to use string functions>

Radovan,

I'm using 0.89 Stable and I tried to duplicate your example and get the same error message. Thanks.

Still fiddling with this I can't find a string function that will work in a user function. Using 0.89 Stable on Win 7.



PS

Something else weird. In SMath Live when I type double quote I get units cursor. I can't enter strings in SMath Live. Radovan, how did you do it?

Do not know about this. It might be a bug. My advice is to use the 0.89.8 until the release of the next version.

I do not have problems with it. When I insert double quotes there can be string inserted. On the other way, it might be faster to make a *.sm file first and then to use "Upload page (.sm)" from the SMath Studio Live palette.
