How long have you been using Lc so far?
I gave up using it about 2 years ago. :lol:

But people keep telling me that Macedonian and Bulgarian are mutually intelligible. :wink:

You are right about my code.

BUT you do NOT need a <0> as if the 'odd symbol' is not present the script will just finish anyway.

Of course you don't need the IF THEN clause if you created the text WITH that character in it. 8)

My previous posting had no IF . . . THEN in it.

Klaus.

OK, you and I are back. Whew.

Richmond was the one that introduced that obsolete Bulgarian glyph. I saw what my attachment shows, that is, a zero with a line through it. Again that is why I called it a "theta", something that some people physically write, but never what a computer displays. I do have a vague memory, actually, of very old displays, and I am talking old, that displayed a zero with a line through it.

I still wonder where it came from, since you did not know about it.

My BBC MICRO computer shows ZERO as an oval with a slash: obviously a way for very crude bitmap displays to avoid confusion with the letter 'O'.

It depends on the font. Most fonts intended for writing code use a zero with a horizontal line to distinguish it from the letter "O" as Richmond said. It does help.

Jacque.

The font certainly matters. I tested several dozen of the fonts that are on my machine, and about 1 in 10 drew a zero with a line through it.
