Return the number of words in a long string
Note: Many $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for $Lstr_Words is WordCount. Or, you may find the features of the StringTokenizer to be more helpful.
This function takes a string or longstring input and returns the number of words in the long string.
The $Lstr_Words function accepts two arguments and returns a string result.
The first argument is an arbitrary string or longstring. This is a required argument.
The second argument is a string containing from 1 to 255 characters which are the delimiters for the longstring. This is an optional argument and defaults to a blank.
Syntax
%result = $Lstr_Words(longstring, delims)
%result is the count of words in the longstring.
Examples
- The following statement sets %RES to
8:%RES = $Lstr_Words('Picture yourself in a boat on a river')
- This statement sets %RES to
7:%RES = $Lstr_Words('Picture yourself in a boat on a river', 'a ')
