string.setWordChar
| Syntax |
string.setWordChar (character)
|
| Params |
character is a single character enclosed in single or double quotation marks.
|
| Action |
Redefines the character to be used as the delimiter between words to be character.
|
| Returns |
True if the operation is successful; an error if the redefinition is illegal.
|
| Examples |
ch = string.getWordChar (); string.setWordChar ('.'); word = string.firstWord ("people.DW.notepad"); string.setWordChar (ch); word » people
|
| Errors |
Attempting to assign a multi-character string as character results in an error because Frontier cannot coerce a multiple-character string to be a character.
|
| Notes |
This verb is used most often to set the word delimiter's value temporarily. It is generally used in conjunction with string.getWordChar so that the original value for the word separator can be saved and then restored when the temporary operation is complete. Setting wordChar affects the following verbs: string.countWords, string.firstWord, string.lastWord, string.nthWord.
