TOKCOUNT() (INTEGER)
Function
Access the number of tokens pending.
Syntax
TOKCOUNT() No arguments are required
Return Type & Value
INTEGER
Returns the number of tokens available.
Remarks
Parameter passing between PCBoard and PPL applications (and between PPL
applications) and command line parsing is accomplished via tokens.
This function will return the number of tokens available via the
GETTOKEN statement and the GETTOKEN() function. The value returned by
this will be decremented after each token is retrieved until it reaches
0 (no more tokens available). The TOKENIZE function will overwrite any
pending tokens with new tokens and reinitialize this function to the
new number. Finally, the TOKENSTR() function will clear this function
to 0 and return all tokens in a string with semi-colons separating
individual tokens.
Examples
PRINTLN "There are ",TOKCOUNT()," tokens"
WHILE (TOKCOUNT() > 0) PRINTLN GETTOKEN()
