SRT. Command

SoRT delimited items

 

 

Intention

 

This command is used to sort delimited items alphabetically.

 

Items in this definitions are members of a string, delimited with a known delimiter.

In a Text-file which has been loaded, the delimiter would be $crlf$ for example.

 

Usage can be as easy as calling:

 

VAR.$$TXT=Name Last-Name Zip-Code

SRT.$$TXT

DBP.$$TXT

 

Now for special reasons you can specify more parameters. For example:

 

VAR.$$TXT=Name Last-Name Zip-Code

SRT.$$TXT|$sp$|d

DBP.$$TXT

' returns "Last-Name Name Zip-Code"

 

or change to ascending sort-order:

 

VAR.$$TXT=Name Last-Name Zip-Code

SRT.$$TXT|$sp$|a

DBP.$$TXT

' returns "Zip-Code Name Last-Name"

 

 

 

 

Syntax

 

SRT.P1[|P2][|P3][|P4]

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

P1 - String with delimited elements to sort.

 

P2 - (optional) Delimiter-Char

 

P3 - (optional) "a" or "d" - ascending sort or descending

     sort-order

 

P4 - (optional) "Tag-String".

    This string is internally generated and shows how the source

    string has been sorted.

 

If you omit the P2 delimiter, the command will try to find it automatically.

 

 

 

Example

 

' Keyword-Sorter

' This script reads a file with keywords

' it replaces the delimiter and removes double delimiters

' and double Keywords.

' It will then sort the keywords and save them in another file.

'

' Its an example for RPL., FEM. and SRT.
