M433 is a comprehensive package for the manipulation of type CHARACTER strings.
Structure:
SUBROUTINE and FUNCTION subprograms
User Entry Names:
| INDEXA, | INDEXB, | INDEXC, | INDEXN, | INDEXS, | INDXAC, | INDXBC, | INDXNC, |
| ISCAN, | REPEAT, | SPACES, | STRIP, | SUBWORD, | VERIFY, | WORD, | WORDS, |
| WORDSEP |
Usage:
In what follows, the parameters STR, SSTR, SET, the functions REPEAT, SPACES and the variables CHD, CHOPT and H are of type CHARACTER. The function VERIFY is of type INTEGER.
I = INDEXA(STR)sets I equal to the position of the first alphabetic character (upper or lower case) in STR.
if no such character
is present.
I = INDEXB(STR,SSTR)sets I equal to the position of the first occurrence of string SSTR in string STR scanning backwards.
if no such
string is present.
I = INDEXC(STR,SSTR)sets I equal to the leftmost position where string SSTR does not match a substring in STR.
if there is
no such mismatch.
I = INDEXN(STR)sets I equal to the position of the first numeric character in STR.
if no such character is present.
I = INDEXS(STR)sets I to the position of the first special (i.e. non-alphanumeric) character in STR.
if no such
character is present.
I = INDXAC(STR)sets I equal to the position of the first non-alphabetic character (upper or lower case) in STR.
if no such character
is present.
I = INDXBC(STR,SSTR)sets I equal to the position of the first mismatch of string SSTR with respect to string STR scanning backwards.
if there is no such mismatch.
I = INDXNC(STR)sets I equal to the position of the first non-numeric character in STR.
if no such character is present.
I = ISCAN(STR,SET)sets I to the leftmost position where any of the characters in SET matches a character in STR.
if there is no such match.
H = REPEAT(STR,NTIMES)sets H equal to NTIMES concatenated copies of the string STR.
H = SPACES(STR,NSPACE)sets H equal to a character string equivalent to STR with leading blanks removed and each occurence of one or more blanks inside STR replaced by NSPACE blanks.
H = STRIP(STR,CHOPT,CHD)sets H to a character string equivalent to STR with leading and trailing occurances of the character CHD removed. If CHOPT is equal to 'L', only leading characters will be removed. If CHOPT is equal to 'T', only trailing characters will be removed.
H = SUBWORD(STR,IW,NW)sets H equal to the character string starting with word IW of STR and containing NW words.
I = VERIFY(STR,SET)sets I to the leftmost position of any character in STR which is not part of SET.
H = WORD(STR,IW)sets H equal to the word IW of STR.
I = WORDS(STR)sets I to the number of words in STR.
CALL WORDSEP(STR)sets the word separator for SUBWORD, WORD and WORDS to the first character of the string STR.
Examples:
Assume the following declarations:
CHARACTER STR*41,REP10*10,REP17*17
CHARACTER REPEAT*16,SPAC17*17,SPAC30*30,SPACES*20
INTEGER VERIFY
and a string STR defined as:
DATA STR /'A B C 1 2 3 A B C 1 2 3 A B C 1 2 3 A B C'/The following results are obtained:
| Statement/ Expression | Yields the value |
REP10 = REPEAT('ABC',5) 'ABCABCABCA'
REP17 = REPEAT('ABC',5) 'ABCABCABCABCABC '
REP17 = REPEAT('ABC',6) 'ABCABCABCABCABCAB'

INDEXB(STR,'A B C') 31
