STRING REMOVE WHITESPACE
Name:
Type:
Purpose:
Remove the white space characters from a string.
Description:
The STRING REMOVE SPACES command can be used to remove spaces from a
string. This command will remove, in addition to spaces, the
non-printing characters (i.e., codes 0 to 32 and 127 in the ASCII
collating sequence). Currently, Dataplot only checks for characters
in the 0 - 127 range of the ASCII collating sequence.
Syntax:
LET <sout> = STRING REMOVE WHITESPACE <sorg>
where <sout> is the name of the resulting string;
and <sorg> is the name of the original string.
Examples:
LET SOUT = STRING REMOVE WHITESPACE STIN
Note:
The name of the new string can be the same as the original
string. For example,
LET STR = STRING REMOVE WHITESPACE STR
In this case, STR will now contain the the string with all white
space characters removed rather than the original string.
Note:
The string on the right hand side of the equal sign must be a
previously existing string. That is, expressions are not allowed.
For example, the following will result in an error message
LET STOUT = STRING REMOVE WHITESPACE "a b c d"
you need to do
LET STRING SORG = a b c d
LET SOUT = STRING REMOVE SPACES SORG
The name on the left hand side of the equal sign may be a
previously existing string. However, if it is a previously
existing parameter, variable, or matrix name, an error will
be reported and the requested string will not be created.
Note:
The total number of characters that DATAPLOT can use for storing
functions and strings is set when DATAPLOT is built. The current
default (11/2008) is 50,000 characters. Previous versions may set
this limit at 1,000 or 10,000 characters. This limit applies to the
combined number of characters for all functions and strings.
