Hello,
pressing the softmenu Cmds/Strings menu when Programming, i can access only to string commands like:
ASC
LOWER
STRINGFROMID
ROTATE
MID
UPPER
RIGHT
INSTRING
STRING
EXPR
DIM
CHAR
LEFT
REPLACE

I am missing, in the same menu the following commands to handle strings:
SUPPRESS
INSERT

Are there other missing commands?
Is it possible to insert them in the same menu in a new firmware release?

thanks

Giancarlo

I would guess that the latter two commands are not in the String menu because they also apply to lists and arrays.

SUPPRESS & INSERT should be included, operate on strings, although they can operate in other objects, should not be excluded.

suppress
Returns list or string without the element of index n;
L1:=suppress(L1,n) or L1.suppress(n).
suppress(Vect||Str,Intg(n))

although it is also necessary to clarify that it is affected by the reserved variable Index

index:=1:; suppress("-x^3",1) returns "Done","x^3"
index:=0:; suppress("-x^3",1) returns "Done","-^3"

index:=0; [enter]
s1:="-x^3"; s1. suppress(0); s1.suppress(0) => "[] index start 0","-x^3","x^3","^3" // ok

bug
up up copy
equal(s1,"-x^3"), s1.(suppress(0)), s1.(suppress(0)) =>
equal("^3","-x^3"),"3",""

Hello,
i think you are right. These two commands are not limited to strings hence they can be inserted in other menu like the list commands.

However i was thinking if there were other commands to handle strings…

thanks

I have found few days ago Xcas documentation on English, however seems that now site is unavailable...

https://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~par...cmd_en.pdf

It is important that all is organized quite well, thus each group have list of related functions available in one place. Perhaps, the most of functions are in the Prime, even should be differences depending what is implemented from Xcas.

Confirmed, site is not working.

Can you share the copy you got when you did reach the site?

If it's the same version that was there 4.5 years ago (dated 2007), here's the copy that I downloaded at that time:

If this is an obsolete version, please advise.

I assumed this is a (hopefully much) more recent version, as the one Joe mentioned has been in circulation for years as noted. I did not notice the filename in the link was identical... Sad

Since filename do not specify date of revision, it could be newer... However it is not, this is version from 2007.

I have not counted the new commands have been added or extended but are not yet in the help of the calculator or have not been relocated. I think only are two command.
