Change spefic value of a char in a string with index position

[info]

Hi , I search on forum and study the MacroProgrammingGuide.pdf BUT

I couldn't find what I'm looking for.

My not working macro is:

STRING  $name = "ABC"

MESSAGE INFO $name[2]

Why is not printing the second char?

How can I replace the second char?

I don't need to replace a spefic char but the specific position in the string

Thank you in advice.

STRING  name = "ABCDEF"
MESSAGE INFO substring($name,1,1)
$name=substring($name,0,1)+'X'+substring($name,2)
MESSAGE INFO $name

all the string functions are under Help, Documentation, Parameters, Reference.  scroll down to functions. you'll find a list and examples of everything you're able to do in the powermill macro language (which is quite a bit).
