follow the scan-string with an index range to be scanned for. Thus SCAN #s[ i :

j ] limits the scan to characters “i” through “j”.

UNTIL target-string

specifies that the scan of the scan-string continues until the string

expression represented by target-string is found. You can use a multiple

character target for the target string. For example:

SCAN #s UNTIL "apple";

WHILE target-char

specifies that the scan of the scan-string is to continue while the character

represented by the target-char continues to exist. Thus

SCAN "...x" WHILE "."->i;

sets “i” to a value of 4. For the target-char, you can use any string

expression that yields a single character, such as “.” or #char(c+i).

int

stores the string index 1...132 where the condition exists in the integer variable

represented by int if the condition is satisfied. If the condition is not satisfied,

it sets int-var to 0 so that it can be used as a Boolean.

Example

This example shows the SCAN statement.

The SEARCH statement searches the specified taskid cache for text. The search is not

case-sensitive.

taskid

specifies the taskid of the cache that is searched for target.

VAR #s := "...x..x";

SCAN "the 123 is the target" UNTIL "123" -> X; { X = 5

SCAN "the 123 is the target" UNTIL "124" -> X; { X = 0

SCAN "...x..x" WHILE "." -> X { X = 4

SCAN #s WHILE "." -> X { X = 4

SCAN #s[5] WHILE "." -> X { X = 7

SCAN BACK #s[5] WHILE "." -> X { X = 4
