Information

Syntax

             delimiter = Strings.scanDelimiter(string);
(delimiter, nextIndex) = Strings.scanDelimiter(string, startIndex=1,
                                 requiredDelimiters={","}, message="");

Description

Function scanDelimiter scans the string starting at index "startIndex", checks whether the next token is a delimiter string and returns its value as a string, as well as the index directly after the delimiter. An assert is triggered, if the scanned string does not contain a delimiter out of the list of requiredDelimiters. Input argument requiredDelimiters is a vector of strings. The elements may have any length, including length 0. If an element of the requiredDelimiters is zero, white space is treated as delimiter. The function returns delimiter="" and nextIndex is the index of the first non white space character.

Interface

function scanDelimiter
  extends Modelica.Icons.Function;
  input String string "String to be scanned";
  input Integer startIndex(min = 1) = 1 "Start scanning of delimiters at character startIndex";
  input String requiredDelimiters[:] = {","} "Delimiters that are searched";
  input String message = "" "Message used in error message if scan is not successful";
  output String delimiter "Found delimiter";
  output Integer nextIndex "Index of character after the found delimiter";
end scanDelimiter;
