After a starttextinput command and gettextinput command can I then print the text entered in uppercase letters even if it was entered in lowercase, also if the text entered was say 12 characters long can I just print only the first 10 character or less if I wanted. Thanks for any help

Use the command 'Upper(str)' to convert to upper case and 'Left(str,10)' to show up to the first 10 characters.

Sorry to sound so dumb but I stil can't get my string to print uppercase or trim characters, After the gettextinputcompleted I put upper (teamname$) then left(teamname$,10) then Createtext (1,teamname$) but it still prints in lower case.

try teamnames$ = upper(teamnames$)

It's a function, so you need to get what it returns.

Show us your actual code and we can troubleshoot. But, your code should look something like this...



or



I used to hate the thought of governments having orbital mind control satellites,
but now I can't really seem to care.

Glad we could help.

In AppGameKit, functions do not directly change any of the parameters which you put in brackets. They do something to them, and then "return" a result. For example, Sin(x) doesn't change the value x, it sends you a new "x" value. So Sin(x) alone does nothing. But newx = Sin(x) puts the result into newx.
