Declarations Section

 

Average Length Any Part Function

Return the average length of any part of a string. Does not include the length of the string which separates the parts in the average. The "parts" of the string are the sub-strings between occurrences of the string vPartSeparator.

Count Characters Function

Count Leading Strings Function

Count the number of occurrences of one string at the beginning of another.

Count Lines Function

Count the number of lines within a string. Works for Windows, DOS, and UNIX strings since it considers the line feed character to be the line terminator.

First Non Matching Character Function

Returns the first character within string vLine that does not match any of the characters within string vFindChars.

First Non Matching Position Function

Returns the position of the first non-matching characters in corresponding positions of the two strings.

First Non Upper Case Forward Function

Return the string vLine starting with the first non-upper-case character. Skips all of the characters in vLine up to the first non-upper-case character. Uses the Visual Basic LCase$() function and not the built-in character classification routines.

First Upper Case Forward Function

Return the string vLine starting with the first upper-case character. Skips all of the characters in vLine up to the first upper-case character. Uses the Visual Basic LCase$() function and not the built-in character classification routines.

Get Token Buffered Fast Function

Remove the first token from the argument and return the token. The tokens are separated by the string vTokenSep. Special version of the GetToken Function which has restrictive argument types to avoid argument fix up overhead AND also works very efficiently on large strings.

Get Token Char Seps Function

"Get Token With Character Separators" Remove the first token from the argument and return the token. The tokens are separated by any of the characters within string vCharSeps.

Get Token Alphanumeric Function

"Get Alphanumeric Token" Remove the first alphanumeric token from the argument and return the token. Function skips leading non-alphanumeric characters (spaces, tabs, symbols, punctuation, etc.) before returning the first alphanumeric token.

Get Token Non Space Function

"Get Non-space Token" Remove the first non-space token from the argument and return the token. Function skips leading space-type characters (spaces, tabs, line feeds, etc.) before returning the first token.

Indicate Matches Function

Indicate which non-overlapping portions of one string match a specific string. Function includes the original string followed carriage return and line feed and then the string which indicates the matching portion using up-caret characters."

In Str Characters Function

"In String Characters" Return the first position within string vLine of any of the characters within vFindChars.

In Str Characters Fast Function

In Str Characters Reverse Function

"In String Characters Reverse" Return the last position within string vLine of any of the characters within vFindChars. Similar to the InStrCharacters function except that this one searches the string vLine from right-to-left.

In Str Characters Reverse Fast Function

"In String Characters Reverse (Fast)" Return the last position within string vLine of any of the characters within vFindChars. Faster version of the InStrCharacters function which uses restrictive argument types to avoid argument fix-up code.

In Str Not Characters Function

"In String Not Characters" Return the position of the first character in vLine that is NOT in vFindChars.

In Str Not Characters Reverse Function

"In String Not Characters Reverse" Return the position of the last character in vLine that is NOT in vFindChars.

In Str Reverse Function

"In String Reverse" Find the last occurrence of one string within another. Similar to the Visual Basic InStr function except that it searches backwards from the end of string vLine. Different from the InStr function in that it returns 0 if vFind is an empty string.

In Str Reverse Fast Function

"In String Reverse (Fast)" Find the last occurrence of one string within another. Faster version of the InStrReverse function which uses restrictive argument types to avoid argument fix-up code.

In Str To Variant Vector Function

"In String To Variant Vector" Creates a list of all of the non-overlapping positions of one string within another string.

Last Matching Character Function

Returns the last character within string vLine that matches any of the characters within string vFindChars.

Last Non Matching Character Function

Returns the first character within string vLine that does not match any of the characters within string vFindChars.
