 Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 7:31 am Post subject: Showing off 2 new string related commands |
 |
|
The commands are | Code: | | search string(start,ID1, ID2) |
, and | Code: | | trim string(ID,start,length) |
| Code: | | search string(start,ID1, ID2) |
start, is the position in the string ID1 that you want to start looking for string ID2.
| Code: | | trim string(ID,start,length) |
ID is the string you want to trim, start is the position in the string that you want to start trimming, anything to the left of start will be deleted, or trimmed. Length is the size of the string you want to preserve, anything to the right of the number will be deleted.
The 2 commands in action:
| Code: |
$1="The dog jumped over the moon!"
$2="dog"
copystring(3,1) #copies 1st string into 3rd
trimstring(1,searchstring(1,1,2),stringlength(2)+7) #trims the string around dog jumped,
#the 1st string now contains the sentence "dog jumped"
showstringat(3,80,80) #shows the original string
showstringat(1,100,100) #shows the modifed string
showstringat(2,100,120) #shows the search string
|
The above code will produce this:
Expect these 2 new commands in the next release of Windows OHR, I am not sure about the DOS version though.
I am sure some of you will put these to a good use.

The argument order to search string is illogical. All other string commands have a string ID as the first command. Also, if start is the last argument, it can have a default value of 1. Sure, that's how QB does it... but QB doesn't make any sense! Don't want to pass on the horrors of QB to HS users.
If we want to get tricky, we could do some overloading and add "trim string (ID, length)" by defaulting last arg to -1 to signal overloaded usage, just like importglobals and the like. It adds functionality (or ease of use in this case), but I wonder if it ever confuses people.

Not DOS.

ok, I am not going to do anything with trim string, I think its fine the way it is, but I did fix the order of arguments in search string.
oh, and default values of start in both commands are 1, also default value of length in trim string is also 1(should this be 40?)
