WRITE method with text that begins with a [

[davem]

Hi,

Does anyone know why text output using the WRITE method does not display if the text begins with a [ ?

* I'm using version 3.50

TIA

Please see in the Programmer's Manual the chapter "Embedded Flag-Setting".

The "[" denotes a sequence of embedded flags. This is an alternative way to quickly modify properties like font size, colors, etc.

If you wish to print a single "[", use "[[".

Thanks Thorsten.

Is there a way to disable the embedded flags check ?

Disabling the embedded flags is not possible, but the "[" character must be the very first character of a given string, so checking for this exception and replacing it with two consecutive "[[" can be done quickly.
