TokensToLower (StringTokenizer property)
Convert returned tokens to all-lowercase (StringTokenizer class)
This readWrite property returns or sets the Boolean value that indicates
whether to convert returned, non-quoted, tokens to all-lowercase characters.
The default value for a new tokenizer is False.
Syntax
%currentBoolean = stringTokenizer:TokensToLower stringTokenizer:TokensToLower = newBoolean
Syntax terms
| %currentBoolean | A Boolean enumeration object to contain the returned value of TokensToLower. |
|---|---|
| stringTokenizer | A StringTokenizer object. |
| newBoolean | The Boolean value to assign to stringTokenizer's TokensToLower property. |
Usage notes
- TokensToLower has no effect on non-alphabetic characters.
- The TokensToUpper property specifies or reports whether returned tokens are to be converted to uppercase characters. Note that 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 TokensToLower:
%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:TokensToLower = 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}
