Subject: help with word function
hi all!
i'm wondering how to change the default delimiters for
word/xword. here's the (rather un-)help(-ful) text
regarding delimiters:
The default delims are a space, a comma,
a semicolon, an equals sign, left and right
parentheses,
left and right brackets, single quote, double
quote,
and tab.
that's lovely....but how do you change the defaults? with a
quoted string? if you change the defaults, do your changes
override/replace the defaults? or add to the defaults?
use the following string and code snippet as an example:
setvar x 'remote :node hello sesname,mgr/pass.account,group'
setvar i 0
setvar xx x
while xx > ' ' and i < 10
setvar i i +1
setvar x!i xword(xx,' .,/')
endwhile
showvar x@
(the i<10 is there to keep the code from going into an
endless loop <sigh>)
i want to extract each 'word' from the string contained in x
(or xx). if my delimiters are a space, period, comma and
slash -- you'd think that code should work. i should get
x1 = 'remote'
x2 = ':node'
x3 = 'hello'
...and so on.... but i don't :-( any thoughts? -

ps -- extra credit for finding the communicator that talks
about word or xword....
