Also Pascal lets you reference parts of strings that way. But not FP/VFP.

>>Don't I remember some sort of syntax to refer to the nth character in a string without using the substring function? It was along the line of MyString<3> or something, for example, to get the third character - (and no, I'm not confusing array functions). Anybody rememeber/know this or am I getting mixed up with another language I used at some point?
