function return $string ?

Small question,

Is it posible to return a string ?

This small code for example

Graphics 320,240,32,2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
ClsColor 212,208,200
Cls
While Not KeyHit(1)

	bla$ = Text(Input$(""))
	Print bla$ ; wil give a 0
Flip
Wend
End

Function Text(la$)
Return "this is a string"
End Function

Function Text$(la$)

a Thanks DJwoodgate :)

Your example code will not work even if you correct the spelling error. It is certainly possible to return a string from a function though:

Print gettext$()

Function gettext$()
Return "this is returned text"
End Function

@Dazman

This was a short example of the problem not a real script.

I use something like this

bla$ gettext$(Input$("")) 
text x,y,bla$

Function gettext$(bla$) 
;some code...
Return bla$
End Function 

How about this:

bla$=Input$("")

Print gettext$(bla$)
WaitKey

Function gettext$(bla$)
bla$=bla$+" has been modified"
Return bla$
End Function

or this:

result$=gettext$(Input$(""))
Print result$
WaitKey

Function gettext$(bla$)
bla$=bla$+" modified"
Return bla$
End Function

P.S. so long since i posted here i've forgotten how to do codeboxes, sorry

Dazman -
{codebox}

{/codebox}

though of course, SQUARE brackets!
