Re: Find some text characters
Using ";" as the itemdel - makes sense. I also realized both split and filter could used for this. None of these beat regex for brevity, though.

funny way to re-organize my 3 lines of code ???
Might be a Opera thing ???
should be read as:
function testForChinese Txt
return matchText( Txt, "&#\d{5};" )
end testForChinese

Re: Find some text characters
Thierry, I ended up using your first Regex example—works great!
It is very good to know about \p{} matches—everything from Arabic to Yi. That
may come in handy later.
Thanks,
Peter

Ok, back after my second morning coffee :)
A better way to check for Chinese code points would be
something like that (not tested and never used myself) :
function testForChinese utf8Text
return matchText( utf8Text, "\p{Han}")
end testForChinese
Of course, it won't work with htmlText, but straight with
the text of a field, assuming it's coded in UTF8 !!!
HTH,
Thierry

Hi Peter,
Mmm, not sure you'll get *only* Chinese characters,
but at least any entity with only 5 numbers.
This function returns true if find any, false otherwise:
function testForChinese T
xt
-- any htmltext
return matchText(
Txt
, "&#\d{5};")
end testForChinese
Regards,
Thierry

Re: Find some text characters
Another way... just playing around Replace tab with empty in tstring Replace ";" with empty in tstring Replace "#" with empty in tstring Replace "&" with linefeed in tstring Repeat for each line tLine in tstring If the number of chars in tLine = 5 then Put tLine and linefeed after tList End if End repeat Delete char -1 of tList Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 17, 2017, at 7:50 PM, jonathandly...@gmail.com wrote: > > Another way, just for fun > > Put empty into tnums > Repeat for each char tchar in tstring > > If isnumber(tchar) = true then > Put tchar after tnums > Else if tnums <> empty then > If the number of chars in tnums = 5 then > Put tnums & linefeed after tnumlist > End if > Put empty into tnums > End if > End repeat > > This should give a list of all 5 number sets > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Jul 17, 2017, at 6:45 PM, dunbarx via use-livecode >> wrote: >> >> This cries out for regex. >> >> Thierry? >> >> >> >> -- >> View this message in context: >> http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Find-some-text-characters-tp4717138p4717143.html >> Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. >> >> ___ >> use-livecode mailing list >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com >> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription >> preferences: >> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Find some text characters
Another way, just for fun Put empty into tnums Repeat for each char tchar in tstring If isnumber(tchar) = true then Put tchar after tnums Else if tnums <> empty then If the number of chars in tnums = 5 then Put tnums & linefeed after tnumlist End if Put empty into tnums End if End repeat This should give a list of all 5 number sets Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 17, 2017, at 6:45 PM, dunbarx via use-livecode > wrote: > > This cries out for regex. > > Thierry? > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Find-some-text-characters-tp4717138p4717143.html > Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Find some text characters
If the number of chars in tItem = 8 then... You always have three extra chars, so that should be right. If you need an itemdelimiter, use "&" and check if the number of chars in each item = 7 Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 17, 2017, at 5:40 PM, Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode > wrote: > > Is there a easy way to do this?: > > Given this htmlText that may contain Chinese characters and/or some > horizontal tabs— > > 大胆的强 > > I want to know if this data contains Chinese characters, that is an entity > with 5 numbers between the “#” and the “;” > > Only data containing 5 numbers between the “#” and the “;” would return true. > Having ONLY " ” but not the other would return false. > > Thanks for suggestions! > > Peter Bogdanoff > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Find some text characters
Is there a easy way to do this?: Given this htmlText that may contain Chinese characters and/or some horizontal tabs— 大胆的强 I want to know if this data contains Chinese characters, that is an entity with 5 numbers between the “#” and the “;” Only data containing 5 numbers between the “#” and the “;” would return true.
