SplitStr Example
In the following example, a string is split into 5 different arrays using the
SplitStr instruction. The "," is used to split the search string.
Public SearchString As String * 50
Public ResultString(5) As String * 10
BeginProg
Scan (1,Sec,3,0)
SearchString="String1,String2,String3,String4,String5"
SplitStr (ResultString(1),SearchString,",",5,5)
NextScan
EndProg
StrComp (String1, String2)
The StrComp function is used to compare two strings by subtracting the
characters in one string from the characters in another.
Syntax
Variable = StrComp ( String1, String2 )
Remarks
The StrComp instruction is typically used to determine if two strings are
identical. Starting with the first character in each string, the characters in
String2 are subtracted from the characters in String1 until the difference is non-
zero or until the end of String2 is reached. The result of this instruction is an
integer in the range of -255 to +255. If 0 is returned, the strings are identical.
UpperCase (SourceString)
Returns an upper case string of SourceString
