CHANGE THIS:
- Code: Select all
<b><a name="SubStrings">SubStrings</a> $a $b</b>
<p>It will delete substring $b from $a. Be careful to include leading or trailing spaces if operand $b if necessary. For example, the following commands:</p>
<p><i>
Set $a "This is a sentence."<br>
SubStrings $a "is"<br>
MessageBox $a<br>
</i></p>
will produce "<i>Th is a sentence.</i>"
<b><a name="Trim">Trim</a> $a</b>

COMMA SPLICE: A tutorial is also available, it walks you through the creation of a couple of the scripts provided with PocoMail.
MISSING WORD (an): PocoScript is [an] interpreted, high-level language, run directly by PocoMail itself.
COMMA SPLICE: Scripts in this category do not have access to the message body, they can only act on the message headers.
DISAGREEMENT IN NUMBER, SUBJECT AND VERB:
Singular subject, plural verb ("resolve"): change "or" to "and" in both subjects. The singular disjunctive phrase also disagrees in number with "all." "When all the elements in a series connected by or are singular, the verb they govern is singular: Tom or Jack is coming. Beer, ale, or wine is included in the charge" (American Heritage, English Usage).Value "True", "Yes", "On" or digit "1" all resolve to true, while "False", "No", "Off" or digit "0" resolve to false.
COMMA SPLICE: You can apply boolean operators to boolean variables, see Operators section.
I'll pause. That's a sample of grammatical faults, from the first few paragraphs.
