Do you mean escape characters?  Look in the help under StringTools backslash, that might help.

\n is newline ... it could be \r (carriage return)

Give an example of the string you are reading in. 

@DSkoog update works great.  So far issues reported are gone.

I'm using Windows 7 and I don't see any of those issues and neither has anyone else so it's probably Windows 10 related.  Something to do with your java install maybe.  Try a re-install

In my haste I forgot to incude the variable in the range.  I've deleteted Maple in preparation to format my hard drive since all my restore points dissappeared so in the end I may not have to.  I have to re-intstall and will get back to you shortly.

Ok finally tried this morning.  Started Maple and got some IsWorksheet warning error when I was closing the Start tab.

and I get this

int(x^2, 0 .. 2);
                        /    2            \
                     int\x(x) , x = 0 .. 2/

It has also propagated itself to 2015, trying a restart.

** edit added **  I forgot to include what variable the range was for  ie.  int(x^2,x=0..2)

One thing that might clear this all up, you failed to mention whether you are using the 32 bit or 64 bit version? 

This does not exist in the 64 bit version.  After realizing it just now it came to my thoughts that you may be dealing with an issue in the 32 bit version of Maple 2016.1.

There is no attached worksheet but I believe Kitonum has solved your issue below.

ok fair enough.  Did it work for you in 2016.0?

@acer hey I forgot about CharacterMap.  I put one together but currently at work so can share code in the morning, probably not as efficient as CharacterMap.

Look at ?StringTools in particular the Shift command will be of some help.  The Rotate command could also be of use.  It will take a little programming on your part to complete the project.

In the Maple help file there is exact commands for what you are doing but I'm guessing you have to come up with a way to do it without using that exact command.

@YasH cat concatenates the comma delimited numbers into a symbol and parse returns that back into a mathematical number.

@mapleatha I'm not completely understanding what you are asking.  If you need to continue math operations with str, which has converted the math to a string, you need to convert it back to math by using parse.

Maybe Quandl has changed the format of it's website?

Does this application work for anyone else in 2015?

I tried on 2016 and 2015 and I got the same error for both. 

@dharr yes exactly.

The Maple help page doesn't detail the entire situation regarding geometry[distance].  You can definitely use the short form of it by loading with(geometry,distance) but it seems of no use without the format of points created from the geometry package, and so without also loading (geometry,points) distance is no use by itself.
