Editing Strings |
|
The following functions are available to edit string expressions: |
scan | {INT_VAR}=scan({STR_EXPR},{STR_EXPR},{VAR_LIST}) This function splits a forwarded string into individual substrings which are assigned to corresponding variables according to the type by means of conversion. The result is the number of successfully assigned variables. |
split | {INT_VAR}=split ({STR_EXPR}, {STR_VAR}) oder {INT_VAR}=split({STR_EXPR}, {STR_VAR}, {STR_EXPR}) This function splits the forwarded string expression and assigns the individual substrings to the specified string array. The result of this function is the number of assigned substrings. |
strcat | {STR_VAR}=strcat({STR_EXPR_LIST) This function combines two or more string expressions (catenation). The result of the function is the catenated string. |
strchr | {INT_VAR}=strchr({STR_EXPR},{STR_EXPR}) This function returns the location of the first occurance of a search string in a string to be examined. If the substring is not contained in the searched string, this function returns the value zero. |
strlen | {INT_VAR}= strlen({STR_EXPR}) This function returns the number of characters in a string expression. |
strlower | {STR_VAR}= strlower({STR_EXPR}) This function converts a character string into lower-case characters. |
strpart | {STR_VAR}= strpart({STR_EXPR},{NUM_EXPR},{NUM_EXPR}) This function returns a substring. This function requires information on the start position and the length of the desired substring. |
strprint | {STR_VAR}= strprint({STR_EXPR},{EXPR_LIST}) This function returns a string created by converting and formatting of the forwarded arguments under the control of a format character string. |
strsub | {STR_VAR}= strsub({STR_EXPR},{STR_EXPR},{STR_EXPR}) This function is used to replace a substring in a string expression by another substring. The result of the function is the changed new string. |
strupper | {STR_VAR}= strupper({STR_EXPR}) This function is used to convert a character string into upper-case characters. |
