A quick question. If you wanted to use the function find() to search for
a particular strings of characters, how would it be possible to define
character variables? For example, suppose you want to search for the
following sequences
al
el
il
ol
ul
which are really just Vl (where V stands for a vowel). Could you simply
define a character set for vowels (V := 'aeiou') and then refer to that
character set in the find() function? If so, what would it look like? I
tried something like the following and it didn't work.
find( V || "l")
I realise it's a pretty trivial task but I don't have the manual at the
moment and I'd like an answer within the next couple of days. Thanks in
advance.
