STR.Shrink

Remove multiple delimiters

 

clip0836

 

Intention

 

The STR.Shrink command is designed to create a string where consecutive data items (words) are separated by a consistent single character.

This makes it easier to parse the string later.

 

Example:
Using STR.Shrink with only the source string

 

$$SRC=  Hello   World  

STR.Shrink|$$SRC||$$RES

$$RES will contain 'Hello World'

 

 

 

Syntax

 

 

STR.Shrink|P1[|P2|P3]

 

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

P1 - (Mainstring, Text) Variable with the source string.

P2 - (Input, Text) Optional Mask string for delimiters.

P3 - (Output, Text) Optional variable that will contain the result. The result will be put in P1 if this parameter is omitted.

 

 

Example

' STR.-Sample

'***********************************
$$SRC=,,Hello,,World,,

$$MSK=,

STR.Shrink|$$SRC|$$MSK|$$RES

' $$RES will contain:
