TOKENIZE SEXP
Function
Split up a string into tokens separated by semi-colons or spaces.
Syntax
TOKENIZE SEXP
SEXP - Any string expression.
Remarks
One of the strongest features of PCBoard is it's ability to take a
series of stacked parameters from a command line and use them all at
once instead of requiring the user to navigate a series of menus and
select one option at each step of the way. TOKENIZE is the PPL
equivalent of what PCBoard uses to break a command line into individual
commands (tokens). The number of tokens available may be accessed via
TOKCOUNT(), and each token may be accessed, one at a time, by GETTOKEN
and/or GETTOKEN().
Examples
STRING cmdline
INPUT "Command",cmdline
TOKENIZE cmdline
PRINTLN "You entered ",TOKCOUNT()," tokens"
WHILE (TOKCOUNT() > 0) PRINTLN "Token: ",CHR(34),GETTOKEN(),CHR(34)
