Incomplete string of equation info

Postby redversjones » Thu Jun 12, 2025 3:22 am

Any idea why [equation].@varlist, @subst and similar commands are are producing incomplete strings? I've done a few examples and they cut off part way through what should be the correct answer, typically somewhere around 80 characters. Is this the character limit (I thought I'd read 255 somewhere) and is so is there a way around this?

Hello,

Are you storing/viewing the result of @varlist or @subst via an alpha series? Alpha series have a adjustable character limit (Options -> General Options... -> Series and Alphas -> Alpha truncation) that would explain the issue you describe. However, if you simply avoid an alpha series, for example by storing the result in a string variable instead, you should observe the complete string.
