many thanks for your program! Now i mastered to get it running on the prime.

I have two suggestions:
1. because your files are more or less pure text (and not .hprpgm), you should
name it *.txt. I've tried to send the .hpprgm via connectivity kit to the prime,
this did not work. Opening your files with notepad++, converting line endings
to windows type, and copying the code to the connectivity kit helped.

Well, I guess guess I need some help here...

I don't have windows so I can't use the connectivity kit. I have Mac and use libhpcalcs, a command-line utility. When I transfer the Sudoku program from my Prime to my Mac I get a file called "Sudoku.hpprgm", encoded in 16-bit unicode, which I believe should be native to Windows. But I should perhaps also convert it to DOS line endings?

To be able to edit the file on my Mac I first convert it to UTF-8 encoding. This file is called "Sudoku.utf8.hpprgm". I don't know if this file can be used on Windows.

Which file did you use on Windows?

Code:

    MSGBOX("Possible digits are: "+STRING(BITS(displayGrid(highlightR,highlightC))));

I changed this call to BitS(), then the syntax error is away.

Thank you for finding this bug. (I have another program on my Prime which exports a "BITS" function, essentially the same as "BitS" in the Sudoku program.)
I you could tell which of my files you used on Windows I shall update my post with correct line encoding for Windows.

Hello Lennart,

Both of your files open fine in editors like notepad++, SciTe or jedit.
In standard notepad (included in windows) the line breaks are missing.

I'll add the text-File with the windows-line-endings for you (exported from program editor out of connectivity kit).

If I re-transfer the program from Prime via connectivity kit to a folder (drag-and-drop), I will get a file with the ending .hpprgm .
These are non-text files in windows.
For comparison i add also this .hpprgm-File. If you are opening this file in an editor, you will see the difference.

If I open the files from your zip, for example with notepad++, they open as native text files, therefore they should habe the file type .txt.
