I was surprised that this worked. I don't see it described in the help file or other LBB documentation. Did I miss previous discussions on this?

r.m.

Code:

    a$ = "CCCCC"
    mid$(a$,3,1) = "X"
    notice a$   ' prints "CCXCC"
    wait

Apparently you did! It was included in the announcement of LBB v2.60 (June 2014) where it says 'You can assign to a sub-string, for example: MID$(test$,7,1) = "W"' and it's documented in the LBB Help File under Benefits... New Features where it says 'You can assign a new value to a sub-string, for example MID$(test$,7,1) = "W" or RIGHT$(hello$,6) = "world!"'.
