Hello everyone, I am a beginner in IDL language and I need it to use the ACIS Extract package.
After instaling the IDL and the reauested libraries I tried to do the tutorial example of the package. I had several problems including incomplete IDL_PATH to access all libraries. Anyhow, I couldn't solve one problem: the function STRSPLIT. At some point, a procedure of the ACIS Extract package used this function and it raised an error
"%Variable is undefined: STRSPLIT.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$ "
I tried to understand why this didn't worked and type this in the IDL command:
IDL> str = "Hello World"
IDL> result = STRSPLIT(str)
% Variable is undefined: STRSPLIT.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

I think the issue comes from the fact that while "playing" with the IDL_PATH I only indicate the path to the add-on libraries (like LIBAstro or Coyote) and IDL doesn't remember the path to the "built-in" functions but I don't know where this function could be installed on my computer.
Anyway, do you have a clue about what went wrong ? and how to solve this ?
Thanks in advance,
Brivael
