How would I run a turing program from a turing program?

Anyone know?

Thanks, renaissance.

You can compile one and run it using Sys.Exec. Really, you should not have to run a Turing program from another one. Try to combine both source files into one. There is always the include command that can help you with this.

You'll have to compile the program that you want to run, and then do some Sys.Exec() shenanigans to accomplish what you want to do.

Also...I've a question.

How would I error trap a user to entering a 10 digit phone number?

Here's my code so far:

put "Enter phone number (10 digits and numbers only)."

loop
flag := false
loop
get phoneNum : *
for decreasing i : length (phoneNum) .. 1
pattern:=index (nums, phoneNum (i))
if pattern>=1 then
flag := true
end if
end for
exit when flag=true
put "Enter a valid phone number (10 digits and numbers only)."
end loop

exit when length (phoneNum) = 10
put "Enter a valid phone number (10 digits and numbers only)."
end loop


Does not quite work yet though :i...

nums:="1234567890"

Thanks, renaissance

first please use code tags next time but as for your question in turing isnt there a syntax length(?) jsut look in the help

and then check if the length of the string is == to 10 if yes then use strint to make it a int if you need to use it as a int...

Okay...

so...would this work?

I ask for the phone number AS AN INT...make sure it is 10 digits...if it is...then I'll use the intstr command?
Would that work?

Syntax intstr ( i : int [ , width : int [ , base : int ] ] ) : string

Their examples don't really help much.

What I want accomplished in the end is:

User enters a number..like "5192223333" as a integer.
Then using the instr command, it'll convert it to a string as still "5192223333"?

Thanks, renaissance.

for converting from int to string use strint instead

I'm so lost here...so if I were to use strint...could anyone show me an example of it in use?

Thanks, renaissance.

Just place the variable in the parameter of 'strint'.
code:

Draw.Text (strint (40), 100, 100, font)


That will draw the text "40". Of course 40 can be replaced with a variable.

Blah...I don't understand this strint command so I won't use it.

So...back to sq. 1.

code:

put "Enter phone number (10 digits and numbers only)."

            loop
                flag := true

                loop
                    get phoneNum : *
                    for decreasing i : length (phoneNum) .. 1

                        pattern:=index (phoneNum(i), nums)
                        if pattern>=1 then
                            flag := false
                        end if
                    end for
                    exit when flag=true
                    put "Enter a valid phone number (10 digits and numbers only)."
                end loop
               
                exit when length (phoneNum) = 10
                put "Enter a valid phone number (10 digits and numbers only)."
            end loop


Any tips on making this ensure that the phone numbered entered is numbers?
