Here's one that will reverse a string of any arbitrary length...
...less trigger here, so it generally works much faster.
One thing I've noticed with this one and your version - for some reason the string extract struggles with the NewLine character - when i tried them both with a multi-line text box, the line breaks appear, but sometimes also an extra 'black block' character.

Awesome-I new there had to be a better way of accounting for every character. Bonus for me: example of the "Loop" module. Havn't used it yet in SM. Cheers

No problem. The Loop can be super handy because all the stuff 'inside' the loop runs much faster than triggers can normally go. NB) Be sure to include that final Sample and Hold connected to the 'Finished' pin of the Loop primitive. That makes sure that the super-fast loop ticks don't 'escape' into the rest of the schematic and cause mayhem!

On Dos/Win systems, a linefeed consists of two bytes (line feed & carriage return), you need them in the right order, or they make problems.

I used to notice that I had to translate things I pasted into SM to a "Mac" text format, eg just CR IIRC.

Thanks for that info - explains a few other glitches I've had before when manipulating strings.

Hey trogluddite, can your osm be modified to handle arrays. Been trying and getting nowhere.. Only way I've found so far is to throw each one into a stack, with a ticker and selecter. It's not pretty, but it works. EDIT: Re-uploaded osm-has another version on it

You're nearly there - using the stack is good, you just need to replace the ticker/selector with the Loop primitive.

Yeh I've got it going using a loop. It works, but the method still not right. I didn't use the step or finished pins. Nothing worked when i tried to put the sample and hold on.

Not using the 'Step' pin is no problem, the 'loop value' pin will reliably trigger the following section. The step pin is just handy when integer is not the right data type, but in this case an integer is just what you need for the Array Get. The other reason to use it sometimes, is that the 'Step' trigger always comes after the count has changed, so sometimes it is useful to make sure that the triggers are flowing in the right order when the stuff 'inside the loop' is particularly complex.
For the 'Finished' pin, you would wire it similar to my previous schematic - using a 'String Array Sample and Hold' right next to the module output.
