TokenEnd()

Check whether additional tokens are available with TOKENNEXT()

Syntax

      TokenEnd( [<@cTokenEnvironment>] ) -> lTokenEnd

Arguments

<@cTokenEnvironment> a token environment

Returns

<lTokenEnd> .T., if additional tokens are available

Description

The TokenEnd() function can be used to check whether the next call to TOKENNEXT() would return a new token. This can not be decided with TOKENNEXT() alone, since an empty token cannot be distinguished from a “no more” tokens.

If the parameter <@cTokenEnvironment> is supplied (must be by reference), the information from this token environment is used, otherwise the global TE is used.

With a combination of TokenEnd() and TOKENNEXT(), all tokens from a string can be retrieved successivly (see example).

Examples

      tokeninit( "a.b.c.d", ".", 1 )  // initialize global token environment
      DO WHILE ! TokenEnd()
         ? tokennext( "a.b.c.d" )     // get all tokens successivly
      ENDDO

Compliance

TokenEnd() is compatible with CT3’s TokenEnd(), but there are is an additional parameter featuring local token environments.
