Reversing an Integer or String

[Alex]

Hi all,

I am working on a memory task, where we are interested in looking at forward and reverse recall.  I was hoping to write some basic InLine to reverse the CorrectResponse, but after a few failed attempts, I'm at a loss.  EBasic doesn't have a "StrReverse" equivalent like Visual Basic, and an attempt at a loop (see below) didn't seem to work out either.  Has anyone worked with anything like this before?  Thanks for your help!

Dim s1 As String
Dim s2 As String

s1 = c.GatAttrib("CorrectResponse")
s2 = ""

For i = Len(s1) To 1 Step -1
  s2 = s2 & Mid(s1, i, 1)
Next i

Hmm, in what way did your code not work? It worked for me. Here is
my exact example code:

Dim i as Integer
Dim s1 As String, s2 as String
s1 = "Hello"

For i = Len(s1) To 1 Step -1
s2 = s2 & Mid(s1, i, 1)
Next i

msgbox s1 & ebCR & s2

Hi David,

Thank you for taking a look!  Perhaps there was a typo that wasn't throwing an error, or perhaps the missing ingredient was having you confirm it -- at any rate, it works now.  Using the code you pasted worked perfectly. Thanks for the help!

Best,

Alex
