Hi all,
Can someone tell me why defining a string with more than n characters does not generate an error (page 55 of the MM manual indicates it should.).
See my example below :-
Using an MM with 5.1 loaded.
> dim t$(3) as string length 3
> t$(0) = "abc"
> t$(1) = "def"
> t$(2) = "ghi"
> t$(3) = "jkl"
> for i = 0 to 3 : ? t$(i) : next
abc
def
ghi
jkl
> t$(2) = "mnopq"
> for i = 0 to 3 : ? t$(i) : next
abc
def
mnopq
jkl
> t$(4) = "xyz"
Error: Array index out of bounds

As you can see referencing an out of bounds element does cause an error (as expected).

Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.
one for Geoff I think!
