You use byte, not string. I'm using, what you obviously don't understand ... Something like: s[n] returns a UByte , not any sort of string. Therefore, a UByte must be used for assignment, too. E.g. Asc("X") . ' assume s being a string Dim As UByte ub = s[n] ' get a "string-ch...

Which is of course, nonsense (see code example)!

Consistency is with regards to the syntax s[6], which does not allow assignment to string. One unique syntax for both string and byte on one side, bot not on the other doesn't look consistent. Where is the inconsistency? String indexing = UByte return = ASCII value of string char, which can equally...

But feel free to use them in any way you see fit.

I won't, don't worry ... (I'm not inclined to burn my fingers).

Why don't you, if you are insisting on unsafe #define 's coding, at least try to: 1) use parenthesis on parameters (to avoid precedence issues) 2) include the needed correction '- 1' (string pos. to index, conversion) As below: #Define GetChr(s, p) ( Chr((s)[(p) - 1]) ) #Define GetAsc(s, p) ( (s)[(p...

It is not dangerous if used within the boundaries of the string, similar to array bounds.

It is dangerous, because those checks are NOT internal. (reread my initial post!)

The #Define of yours is dangerous, because it relies on externals (strings length checking). This is a different way to do that (without StrPtr also): Sub PrtChr( _ ByVal strg As String = "", _ ByVal nPos As UByte = 1, _ ByVal nSiz As UByte = 0 _ ) Static As String ts If strg = ""...

A slight variation in the Sub (Boolean instead of Long). Since the Sub is "locked" after the first call, and unlocking isn't a option, there is just about this left ... Sub dothis static as boolean locked If locked then return print "Greetings from " + __function__ locked = TRUE ...

Not sure, that this isn't opening yet another 'can of worms'.
AFAIR, we've had a error report "more options allowed with -exx" (than otherwise)?

dodicat, thanks for the input, code in first post fixed now.
Your math. is faster, but fails on constant decimals length (no necessary "0" appended) in fourth place.

hello srvaldez, your license is very restrictive, why? personally, I like to share any code I write freely, ...

This is an example of using String Functions (most of them), to do Double rounding to String, with arbitrary chosen (almost: 1 to 9), number of decimals. The intended purpose is mainly, to show many String Functions, in action. edit: updated 2018-11-30 (code, license terms) edit: updated 2018-12-01 ...

@coderJeff,

this thread, should be moved to News section for visibility to all, as well as to NOT
be always hidden again, by newer posts in Community Discussion section.
(the typical drawbacks, of a 'open' Forum)

OK got it from GIT, it says 'Lesser GPL', which I find somewhat confusing,
should read 'LGPL', IMO. Apologies.

Isn't this clear enough?
