StringScanner.SkipToAlpha Function
Syntax
Result_Flag as L = SkipToAlpha as l()
Arguments
- Result_Flag
True if an alphabetic character was found.
Description
Skip until a alphabetic character is encountered. Return true if successful.
Discussion
The <StringScanner>.SkipOverAlpha() function moves the offset to the next alphabetic character. The offset does not move if it is already pointing to a alphabetic character.
Example
dim scanner as P dim txt as C txt = <<%text% This is wonderful prose written by a technical writer of note. %text% scanner = stringscanner.create(txt) scanner.scanover(4) ? scanner.skiptoalpha() = .T. ? scanner.GetToOffset() = "This " ? scanner.getremainder() = is wonderful prose written by a technical writer of note.
