Parse a String with SKILL

leto

Hello All,

I have a string  C200_2

I would like break it up to separate alphabets, numbers & special characters

The results should be a list ("C" "200" "_" "2")

Is there a build in function of SKILL to do this?

If not, how should I do this manually?

Thanks All

    If you know the format of your input string then you can make a regular expression to 'extract' the values.

    pcre = pcreCompile("(\\w)(\\d+)_(\\d+)")
    pcreExecute(pcre "C200_2")
    pcreSubstitute("\\1")
    pcreSubstitute("\\2")
    pcreSubstitute("\\3")

    Alternatively, there is an undocumented function which seems to do something that you need:

    _alphaNumBreakIntoChunks("C200_2")
    ("C" "200" "_" "2")
