Yeah it's a wierd one, yet it works if you modify your last line as seen
below:
-----------------------------
txt = "Andy*is*cool"
the itemDelimiter = "*"
put txt.item[1]
-- "Andy"
put txt.item[1].char[3]
-- "d"
put "B" into txt.item[1].char[3] -- MODIFIED LINE
put txt
-- "AnBy*is*cool"
----------------------------
The direct access to the cast member's text in your second example is weird
and wonderful though. Too bad it is not consistant with the first example
you gave. Just a lingo quirk I guess.
