Syntax

             identifier = Strings.scanIdentifier(string);
(identifier, nextIndex) = Strings.scanIdentifier(string, startIndex=1, message="");

Description

Function scanIdentifier scans the string starting at index "startIndex", checks whether the next token is an Identifier and returns its value as a string, as well as the index directly after the Identifier. An assert is triggered, if the scanned string does not contain an Identifier with optional leading white space.

(identifier, nextIndex) = scanIdentifier(string, startIndex, message)
