MID$ and CHR$ problem

[MrTAToad]

With the following code :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DEBUG "X1\n"
thisText$=MID$(text$,0,xLoop%)
DEBUG "This text 0 : "+MID$(text$,0,xLoop%)+"\n"

I find that the first DEBUG statement is displayed, but the second isn't - the program just exits.

The cause seems to be :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

cItem.name$="Player "+CHR$(49)

for some reason.  CHR$ needs to be used due to various calculations that should be done.  Get rid of the CHR$ part and the first code section works fine.

The two bits of code are in separate files, by the way.

Doing :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


temp$=CHR$((49+MAX_PLAYERS%)-cItem.index%)
cItem.name$="Player "+temp$


is also fine (although inefficient).

uhm. I don't quite understand. Can you make a fully working example to show the bug?

Unfortunately it works fine in a small example, so I'm probably having to send my project... At the moment, I'm getting rid of the need for media, and stuff.

And its working properly too...

Seems to be another cause - so I'm having to look for that now

It seems to be working properly now - so I think this one can be ignored...
