Hi,

I want to be able to use MathType.stringToType to be able to do this:
MathType mt = MathType.stringToType("((time)->(textstuff(Text)))");

but it complains about "badly formed string".

It is ok if I'm dealing with reals:
MathType mt = MathType.stringToType("((time)->(realstuff))");

[with apologies to Tom W, I was thinking about how much effort might be required
to extend TextAdapter to work with TextTypes as well as RealTypes]

Thanks in advance,

James
