[Scilab-users] Fwd: End of line and tab characters in SCILAB

[Samuel Enibe]

Dear sir,

Could you please let me know the command to detect white spaces such
as end of line and tab characters in SCILAB. I tried the "\n" and "\t"
respectively but they did not work.

Thank you very much.

God bless you.

Hello,

If you are processing strings with only ASCII characters -- with no 
UTF-8 extensions --, you may use ascii() and then test the presence of 
ascii(10) for "\n" or ascii(9) for "\t".
But the most efficient way is to use a regular expression. In a regexp, 
EndOfLine is represented with $. As far as i know, it represents  either 
"\n" or "\r" or both. tab is "\t", or any white separator is "\s" (for " 
","\t", "\n" or "\r").


May you post your test with "\n" or "\t", with the way you get/generate 
the string in which you want to detect white spaces? It would help 
answering to you for your application.

Thank you very much. The string was generated from Excel 2003 files.
Some cells contained blank spaces which when processed for use in a
LaTeX document or csv file, the blank lines cause errors and had to be
removed manually.

I tried using the expression

datax = strsubst(datax, "\n", " ");//replace EndOfLine with " " everywhere

to replace the EndOfLine characters with ordinary spaced but this did
not produce the desired results.
