TOKENSTR() (STRING)
Function
Rebuild a previously tokenized string reconstructed with semi-colons
separating the component tokens.
Syntax
TOKENSTR() No arguments are required
Return Type & Value
STRING
Returns the rebuilt string that was previously tokenized.
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. The TOKENIZE statement is the
PPL equivalent of what PCBoard uses to break a command line into
individual commands (tokens). This function will take all pending
tokens and build a string with appropriate token separators.
For example, the string "R A S" would be broken into three separate
tokens; "R", "A" and "S". TOKENSTR() would take those tokens and return
the following string: "R;A;S". Note that, regardless of the separator
used in the original string, the semi-colon character will be used in the
rebuilt string.
Examples
STRING cmdline
INPUT "Command",cmdline
TOKENIZE cmdline
PRINTLN "You entered ",TOKCOUNT()," tokens"
PRINTLN "Original string: ",cmdline
PRINTLN " TOKENSTR(): ",TOKENSTR()
