String parse error
I am trying to go thru a string character by character. Here is the sample code
[CODE] nStrLength = StrLengthChars (svLine);
nX = 0;
nCnt = 0;
svTemp = "";
for nX = 1 to nStrLength
sTmp = svLine[nX];
svTemp = svTemp + sTmp;
if ( svLine[nX] = "\"") then
if (nCnt = 0) then
nCnt = 1;
else
svTemp = svTemp + " ";
nCnt = 0;
endif;
endif;
endfor;[/CODE]
Here is the error I get. svLine string value required on [CODE]sTmp=svLine[nX];[/CODE]
I am not for sure what I am doing wrong I am just trying to append each character to the end of a svTemp. I have removed all spaces from svLine and what I am doing is adding a space back into the string after the second double quote. If the string has 6 double quotes it will count 1 then on 2 add a space afterwards and reset the count until the line is completed.

Hello,
The problem is that when you do this, "svLine[nX]", it is returning of datatype CHAR. Not string; I posted a reply to an later post that shows an example of this. Here is the link.
