i am trying to have the user enter a word then i want to create a new string that has substituded the letters of that word to underscores.. i just cant figure it out can someone look through this code and point out my problem please

code:

var puzzle : string var puzzle2 : string put "enter puzzle" get puzzle for i : 1 .. length (puzzle)     if i > 65 and i <= 90 then         puzzle2 := puzzle2 + "_"     else         puzzle2 := puzzle2 + puzzle (i)     end if end for put puzzle2

Well your code

code:

if i > 65 and i <= 90 then

Look at your "i" var, it will only go up to the length of the puzzle word. If you are trying to get a specific char variable, which is what i think you'r trying to do, then i suggest you look at chr and ord.

If you want to do it the easy way. Make 2 vars. one for your word, and the other created with "_" for each spot in the word.

He did in fact do that TokenHerbz.

code:

var puzzle : string var puzzle2 : string

Now, what you need to do is instead of checking the index of your for loop, you need to check the character value is (using the function ord()). That way you can check the value of each character in your "puzzle" string, then, if a character is a letter, add an underscore to puzzle2, otherwise, add the character to puzzle2.
