A new operators block, similar to (letter () of [])

The loop won't be possible until custom reporters are added.

My other idea about making blocks available once workarounds have been provided fits that.

And by the way, without this block or a workaround, the Scratch project that I want to make would be practically impossible.

There are loads of workarounds.

But yes, this block needs to be added.

because each workaround has its own unique problems.

They don't. Lots of the workaround posted in this so far do have problems, but its easy enough to create a viable workaround to this block.

Yes, and the “workaround” is harder to use than the proposed block.

Exactly!

Semi-support, but this is workaroundable by having each character add to a list (add letter 1 to list, add letter 2 to list etc) and then a kind of loop counter variable that does something like this:

set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of (list :: list))
set [variable v] to (join [(variable)] (item (i) v) of [list v] :: list))
change [i v] by (1)
end
set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of (list :: list))
set [variable v] to (join [(variable)] (item (i) of [list v] :: list)
change [i v] by (1)
end

Full support. This is a real pain in the neck every time you have to make these huge, clunky blocks.

Thanks! Also, this block will support variable lengths for the substring extracted.

Okay. My bad. It's possible, and I just changed it so it uses that.

I support this suggestion because the long way of doing it is so long, it can't even fit in the OP!

The alpha will hopefully be done by the end of the year, but the finished release won't be until later.

I thought that I read in a forum post that I think was by one of the ACMs a few weeks or months back that Scratch 3.0 would be finished in 2019 at earliest.

I read somewhere that it was 2017, but oh well.

I'll ask on the S3 topic, I know 2017 has been mentioned before.

It could be that you were told the final release date and I was told when the public beta starts.

(Edit) Apparently late 2017 is the alpha.
