Hi i want to say this is great piece of work.

Can you please add contains indexOf *startWith

string methods pls ?

I would love to use it for simple calculations and string modifications...

You can do it yourself in your own code! BasicSharp allows to define functions that can be used within basic scripts.

Example for contains:

using System;
using BasicSharp;

namespace MyApp
{
    class Program
    {
        public static Value Contains(Interpreter interpreter, List<Value> args)
        {
            if (args.Count < 2) // We expect 2 argument
                throw new ArgumentException();

            string a = args[0].Convert(ValueType.String).String; // convert argument to make sure it is string
            string b = args[1].Convert(ValueType.String).String;

            return Value(a.contains(b) ? 1.0 : 0.0); // convert true/false into 1 or 0
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string code = "print contains(\"hello world\", \"world\" )";
            Interpreter basic = new Interpreter(code);

            // add our 'contains' function to basic interpreter 
            basic.AddFunction('contains', Contains);

            basic.printHandler += Console.WriteLine;
            basic.inputHandler += Console.ReadLine; 
            try
            {
                basic.Exec();
            }
            catch (BasicException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
                Console.WriteLine(e.Line);
            }
        }
    }
}

Above code was written from memory without trying to compile it.
