I'm guessing you're new to coding, so it's worth pointing out that you can put Komag's snippet into a re-usable function:


function stringReverse(input as String) as String
   newStr = ""
   len = len(input)

   for i = len to 1 step -1
      newStr = newStr + mid(input, i, 1)
   end for

   return newStr
end function


Which can then be used like this:

function main()
   str = "This is my string!"

   reversed = stringReverse(str)
   ?reversed ' Prints "!gnirts ym si sihT"
end function
