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 instantiated object,
the resulting tokens are:
%tok:nextToken is BAD,F %tok:nextToken is ?3MO %tok:nextToken is ,7,{X %tok:nextToken is Z}
