Can anything be done to improve QB64's string manipulation?There are many improvements that could be made, the existing system has some pretty significant bugs as well as not being the most performant it could be. It requires someone to take the time to fix it though, that tends to be the limiting factor for a lot of things related to QB64
That said, there are some trade-offs that mean concatenation will always be slow. Many languages have this problem and introduce a kind of 'string builder' API to efficiently create strings, `MID$()` in QB64 like Steve used it is probably the closest thing to that.
