TokensToUpper (StringTokenizer property)

Convert returned tokens to all-uppercase (StringTokenizer class)

This readWrite property returns or sets the Boolean value that indicates whether to convert returned, non-quoted, tokens to all-uppercase characters. The default value for a new tokenizer is False.

Syntax

%currentBoolean = stringTokenizer:TokensToUpper stringTokenizer:TokensToUpper = newBoolean

Syntax terms

%currentBoolean	An Boolean enumeration object to contain the returned value of TokensToUpper.
stringTokenizer	A StringTokenizer object.
newBoolean	The Boolean value to assign to stringTokenizer's TokensToUpper property.

Usage notes

• TokensToUpper has no effect on non-alphabetic characters.
• The TokensToLower property specifies or reports whether returned tokens are to be converted to lowercase characters; however, if TokensToUpper is true, then TokensToLower is ignored.

Examples

In the following example, the input string's tokens are returned in sequence under the default (False) setting of TokensToUpper:

%tok is object stringtokenizer %tok = new %tok:string = 'Bad,F ?3mO ,7,{x Z}' repeat while not %tok:atEnd printText {~} is {%tok:nextToken} end repeat

The resulting tokens are:

%tok:nextToken is Bad,F %tok:nextToken is ?3mO %tok:nextToken is ,7,{x %tok:nextToken is Z}

If %tok:tokensToUpper = true is specified for the object, the resulting tokens are:

%tok:nextToken is BAD,F %tok:nextToken is ?3MO %tok:nextToken is ,7,{X %tok:nextToken is Z}
