I found a bug, how i can solve this problem with the open square bracket?

code.

cc="(Kr) 4d8 5s1"
ces=ReplaceStr(cc,"(","\[")
ces=ReplaceStr(cc,")","\]")
DebugPrint(ces)

output.

(Kr] 4d8 5s1

Huh, why are you escaping the square bracket? That shouldn't be done. Is that what you're looking for?

hello andreas, if i don´t escape i have this error, the item is in a table
item to print ---->[Ar] 3d5 4s2

Error in line 684 (Taula.hws): Text format tag after square bracket not recognized!

i test with a table alone now and the result is the same, error

code:

ces={}
ces[0]="[Kr] 4d8 5s1"
DebugPrint(ces[0])
Print(ces[0])

debug:

Error in line 4 (Unnamed1): Text format tag after square bracket not recognized!

I can't test this right now, but I think the way I've done it before was to replace "[" with "[[" and replace "]" with '']]" (double brackets).

thanks for your repply Peb, this is working fine with your method!

code:

electroconfigsemantic="[Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2"
ss=ReplaceStr(electroconfigsemantic,"[","[[")
ss=ReplaceStr(ss,"]","]]")

debugprint result ---> [[Ar]] 3d10 4s2 4p2

textout result ----->[Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2

interesting

It's all documented here. Quote:

Please note that because of these format tags you have to use two square brackets if you want to have a square bracket in your text. If there is only one square bracket Hollywood will always expect a format tag.

So not a bug.

correct, the problem is solved, thanks again.
