[stuff about disassembling a string type into a series of char type]

    Rather than using copy to take apart your string you can access
  it as an array structure.

           c := copy(s,1,1) is same as c := s[1]

  This will return a char type in c if c is defined as char or it will
  return a string type in c if c is defined as type string.
