[Axiom-developer] [#97 match not working] (new)

[anonymous]

The hyperdoc documentation gives this example,

\begin{verbatim}
match("*to*","yorktown","*")
\end{verbatim}

and says that it would return 5. But the interpreter will not coerce "*" to a 
character, and even if manually converted, a system error occurs. However, 
match? works.

\begin{axiom}
match("*to*","yorktown","*")
match("*to*","yorktown",char("*"))
match?("*to*","yorktown",char("*"))
\end{axiom}
