Determine if string is abbreviation within list of words
Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is currently no direct OO equivalent for the $Abbrev function.
This function makes it possible to determine if a string is a valid abbreviation of one of a list of words.
$Abbrev accepts two arguments and returns a numeric code.
The first argument is a list of blank-delimited words.
The second argument is the word to be compared with the blank-delimited word list in the first argument.
Syntax
<section begin="syntax" /> %RESULT = $Abbrev(word_list, string) <section end="syntax" />
$Abbrev Function
%RESULT indicates the relative position in word_list of the first word for which string is a valid abbreviation.
>0 - Number of matching word 0 - No matches found -1 - First parameter missing or null -2 - Second parameter missing or null
