hmmm, it doesn't seem to like the brackets, i just replaced the brakets with a '[' and it worked alright though

Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120...

Oh right, but does anyone know why it's doing this?

Also, there must be a way of PRINTing brackets surely.

Thanks for the tip though Zotoaster, that'll get me by in the mean time

I'm not sure, I think it might have but I'll check when I'm home tonight.

If so, your solution will be fine for what I want but it'd still be cumbersome if you why wanting to just print something simple out which had brackets in it.

I've played around with programming PERL in the past and I seem to remember there are certain characters (like double quotes) that you have to prefix with another character in order to get them to print (I think it was a back-slash but I'm not certain). Is there something like that for DB?

Indeed that's a bug in DarkBasic.
You could do it that way though:

Oh right, thanks empty

I think I'll just use square brackets instead, it's not a major problem and it'll avoid having to add extra code.

Thanks again for all the help/advice from everyone
