Why? On the Suggestions forum, it is often required to give a reason why you support or don't support a suggestion.

Can you add or tell me how to add a "set letter 1 of (Variable name) to please it would be very useful to create a location to a sprite with only 1 variable.

Try posting that in Help with Scripts next time, instead of an old topic on the Suggestions forum. Thanks!

Hehehe 5th page time! >:3

Le bump = “The bump”

oopsies daisies, big bump.

anyways support this would reduce lag with scripts that use (join (letter (1) of (world)) (letter 2 of (world))), and also speed up making big scripts that use them

spocite

bump

blablablahello

does haave many workarounds but still annoying to ahve to spend like 10 minutes just to make the workaround

Improved mockup

(letters () to () of [apple]:: operators)

pretty cool idea, but there are workarounds so semi-support.

Half support and half do not support. This block could be useful for some projects because they don't need few or a lot of

(letter () of [world])

blocks. It could also be useful for some scripts like this example:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <[( letters (1) to (5) of (answer)] = [Happy]> then
switch costume to [Happy v]
else
switch costume to [Normal v]
end

But I do not support because it can be replaced by using the following code

set [report v] to []
set [count v] to (first letter)
repeat until <(count) = ((last letter) + (1))>
set [report v] to (join (report) (letter (count) of (text)))
change [count v] by (1)
end

I did something like this:

I mean all you really did was add the operators thing and changed world to the new default for the letter and join blocks though

If I was trying to find letters 3-5 of “apple”, would it report a string (“ple”), or as a list with individual letters?

If you do it with a list, it already puts them together:

Anyway, a string hopefully.

Yeah, never mind, for some reason I thought that it had spaces in between the characters, but I tested it in 3.0, and sure enough, there were no spaces.

It doesn't have spaces when the items have 1 character (as in all of them)
