It seems that I don't understand POS

BobDye

LET K = 3
LET Flag$ = "123"
PRINT POS(Str$(K), Flag$)
0

Why doesn't POS return "3"?

Hi Bob,

You've got the args backwards:

   print pos(flag$,str$(k))

will return 3.

I get these backwards half the time myself and have to double check the manual, which probably could have been written with better explanations than it has.

The others: cpos, posr, cposr ncposr, etc are confusing as well.

Regards,

Yeah - I discovered my error a few hours after posting. I seem to be finding so many unexpected bugs in TB that I failed to consider that I was the bug!
