Using String Manipulation to Change a Space to an Underscore

[Four]

Well, I'm creating a game and for my highscore table, when they enter their name, if they enter a space, I want the space to convert to an underscore so the highscores wont get messed up. When I write the code, it says the left side is not a variable and hence cannot be assigned to.

code:

get strNameSub : *         for n : 1 .. length (strNameSub)             if strNameSub (n) = " "                     then                 strNameSub (n) := "_"             end if         end for

Edit: I just tried the code below, but it does not change the space to an underscore

code:

for n : 1 .. length (strNameSub)             if strNameSub (n) = " "                     then                 put "_"             end if         end for

Thanks

try ' ' instead of " "?

the problem is not with the type of quotes. I believe Turing accepts either type of quotes for strings. The problem is that strNamSub(n) is not a variable, it is an index of a variable. you will probably need to totally reset your string to include "_". to reset a string character by character:

code:

for i : 1 .. length of stringName %for every character in the string newString += stringName(i) %add that character to a new string end for %end

all you need to do at that point is to check what character is going in before adding it to the new string
