Compress intra-token spaces (StringTokenizer class)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.8]
CompressSpaces compresses a token's intermediate whitespace
to a single whitespace character.
Syntax
%currentBoolean = stringTokenizer:CompressSpaces stringTokenizer:CompressSpaces = newBoolean
Syntax terms
| %currentBoolean | An enumeration object of type Boolean to contain the value of CompressSpaces. The default value for a new tokenizer instance is False. |
|---|---|
| stringTokenizer | A StringTokenizer object variable. |
| newBoolean | A Boolean enumeration value. |
Usage notes
- If multiple whitespace
characters are defined, the first character in the Spaces string is the character to which CompressSpaces compresses intermediate whitespace. For example, if
Spaces='X ', the token'foot ball'will compress to'footXball'. - CompressSpaces affects processing only when one or more Separators characters are set, because otherwise a token cannot contain internal whitespace.
- CompressSpaces does not compress quoted data that contains whitespace.
Examples
Consider the following %toke StringTokenizer string, defined with a blank as the whitespace character and with comma as a non-token separator character:
this, is a compression , example
Without compression, repeated calls of %toke:NextToken strip the leading and trailing whitespace and select the following tokens:
this is a compression example
Without compression, that is, with CompressSpaces set to True, the result is:
this is a compression example
