CHARMIX()

Mix two strings

Syntax

      CHARMIX( <cString1>[, <cString2>] ) --> cMixedString

Arguments

<cString1> String that will be mixed with the characters from <cString2>

[<cString2>] String whose characters will be mixed with the one from <cString1>. Default: ” ” (string with one space char)

Returns

<cMixedString> Mixed string

Description

The CHARMIX() function mixes the strings <cString1> and <cString2>. To do this it takes one character after the other alternatively from <cString1> and <cString2> and puts them in the output string. This procedure is stopped when the end of <cString1> is reached. If <cString2> is shorter than <cString1>, the function will start at the begin of <cString2> again. If on the other hand <cString2> is longer than <cString1>, the surplus characters will be omitted.

Examples

      ? CHARMIX( "ABC", "123" )    // "A1B2C3"
      ? CHARMIX( "ABCDE", "12" )   // "A1B2C1D2E1"
      ? CHARMIX( "AB", "12345" )   // "A1B2"
      ? CHARMIX( "HELLO", " " )    //  "H E L L O "
      ? CHARMIX( "HELLO", "" )     //  "HELLO"

Tests

      CHARMIX( "ABC", "123" )  == "A1B2C3"
      CHARMIX( "ABCDE", "12" ) == "A1B2C1D2E1"
      CHARMIX( "AB", "12345") == "A1B2"
      CHARMIX( "HELLO", " " )   == "H E L L O "
      CHARMIX( "HELLO", "" )   == "HELLO"

Compliance

CHARMIX() is compatible with CT3’s CHARMIX().

NOTE: CA-Tools version of CHARMIX() will hang if the second parameter is an empty string, this version will not.

CHAREVEN()

Returns the characters on the even positions in a string

Syntax

      CHAREVEN( <cString> ) --> cEvenString

Arguments

<cString> processed string

Returns

<cEvenString> a string containing all character from even positions in <cString>

Description

The CHAREVEN() function looks for the characters on the even positions in a given string, collects them and returns them as a string.

Examples

      ? CHAREVEN( " H E L L O !" ) // -> "HELLO!"

Tests

      CHAREVEN( " 1 2 3 4 5" ) == "12345"
      CHAREVEN( " 1 2 3 4 " ) == "1234"
      CHAREVEN( " " ) == ""

Compliance

CHAREVEN() is compatible with CT3’s CHAREVEN().

 CHARODD()
 Returns characters in the odd positions of a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     CHARODD(<cString>) --> cString

 Argument

     <cString>  Designates the character string from which all the odd
     characters are returned.

 Returns

     CHARODD() returns a character string that contains all the odd
     characters from <cString>.

 Description

     CHARODD() assembles all odd characters within a string into a new
     character string.  This allows you to process variables where screen
     content, consisting of characters and attributes, is saved.  This
     function can then be used in conjunction with functions from the video
     section.

 Note

     .  The first position in a string is 1, and therefore is odd.

 Examples

     .  Assemble all odd characters:

        ? CHARODD("1234a")            // "13a"

     .  Return the expanded text to "normal":

        ? CHARODD("H e l l o ")       // "Hello"
