Hi,
And thanks in advance to all who have been helping me thru this
learning curve of getting started in ICON.
My present problem is trying to write a rountine that counts only
letters in text and skips blanks, numbers, punctuation, etc.
I tried....
if member(&letters,line[index]) then totalcount +:= 1
...but for some unexplicable reason, it barfed on the very first
character with
set or table expected.
Offending value &letters
Isn't &letters a cset? You can use it in other "set" functions....can't
you? What am I missing?
Assistance appreciated!
