SET DELIMITERS Toggle or define GET delimiters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax SET DELIMITERS on | OFF | <xlToggle> SET DELIMITERS TO [<cDelimiters> | DEFAULT] Arguments ON displays delimiters for GET variables. OFF suppresses the delimiter display. <xlToggle> is a logical expression that must be enclosed in parentheses. A value of true (.T.) is the same as ON, and a value of false (.F.) is the same as OFF. TO <cDelimiters> defines a one or two character delimiter. Specifying a single character uses the same character as both the beginning and ending delimiter. Specifying two characters uses the first as the beginning delimiter and the second as the ending delimiter. TO DEFAULT or no delimiters SETs the delimiters to colons which are the default delimiters. Description SET DELIMITERS is a dual purpose command that both defines characters used to delimit GETs and toggles the automatic display of delimiters ON or OFF. The @...GET command can display delimiters that surround a Get object's display. If DELIMITERS is ON, the delimiters add two characters to the length of the Get object display. You can configure the delimiter characters using the TO <cDelimiters> clause. The DEFAULT delimiter character is the colon (:). When specifying delimiters, the beginning and ending delimiter characters can be different. If you wish to suppress either the right, left, or both delimiters, use a space instead of the delimiter character. Typically, delimiters are unnecessary since GETs display in reverse video or enhanced color if INTENSITY is ON. Examples . This example SETs DELIMITERS TO a colon and a space for the first GET and the square bracket characters for the second: LOCAL cVar := SPACE(5), cVar2 := SPACE(5) SET DELIMITERS ON SET DELIMITERS TO ": " @ 1, 0 SAY "Enter" GET cVar SET DELIMITERS TO "[]" @ 2, 0 SAY "Enter" GET cVar2 READ Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
