subStr command not working after upgrading to 7.8

[[Zo...]]

i have this program that was running on 6.8 version and now that we have upgraded to 7.8, i have nothing but issues with PCM

i have a file that contains point coordinates (file is attached)

• i read the list
  • A = readListFile(MS_Curve_Points_Temp)                // read NX output

 

• then i use subStr to seperate teh lines into individual string that i can easily phrase
  • D1 = subStr(A,1,1)

this was working up until we upgraded, now i am getting an error

can someone please tell what has happened and what can i do to address this issue

i tried to convert "A" to text, but it didn't help

 

Greeley appreciate all the help 🙂

I haven't used Calypso 6.8, but I'm surprised sub string ever worked in this case. 

instead of D1=subStr(A,1,1)

Try: D1=getParameterNamed(A,1)

That should give you the first row of the list.

that worked, thank you very much for the help

i just checked few other programs that run the same/similar codes in 6.8 and below and substr seems to be working on those version

i personally don't know much coding and use whatever gives me the results 😅

 

your solution just saved my day and i am thankful
