Error: LET string1 = string1 ( 1 TO LEN string1) (solved)

[boriel]

Interesting... My guess is that if EDLINE is just 1 char, then LEN EDLINE - 2 is becoming 65535 (-1 as UInteger). 65535 which means However, after further investigation, this code (note, you can use [code] ... [/code] for code sections in the forum):

Code:

DIM EDLINE As String
LET EDLINE$ = "X"
X = EDLINE( TO LEN EDLINE -2)

PRINT "'";EDLINE;"' '";X;"'"
PRINT X = ""
PRINT LEN X = 0

This code should print

Code:

65535
'1' ''
1
1

it prints:

Code:

65535
'1' ''
0
1

instead. Will look into this, thanks!
