Hi i was woundering if it was possible to split some text up and then storing
them in differint variables
for example
T e x t
| | | |
c1 c2 c3 c4

Hi James
Euphoria's treatment of "strings" of text is quite nice as it is just a
flat sequence.
i.e.
text = "Text" -- is equivalent to
text = {'T', 'e', 'x', 't'} -- nb this is a sequence of character _values_, ie
text = {84, 101, 120, 116} -- same thing
Therefore
atom c1, c2, c3, c4
c1 = text[1]
c2 = text[2]
c3 = text[3]
c4 = text[4]
I don't know why you would want to do this though, as any results you get
you would surely want to store in a sequence, as in:
sequence vals
vals = {} -- important to initialise to empty sequence before using append()
for i = 1 to length(text) do
vals = append(vals, text[i])
end for
-- the variable 'vals' is now identical to 'text'! 
Far be it from me to guess why you asked the question though :) You would
want to do this more often for calculating values within the for loop.
