PARSE "wildcards_and_spaces" |
When the string in the text buffer is NET ¤ ¤+ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤1.23456-g the command PARSE " ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤############" reads everything to the right of and including the (+) sign. The numeric value returned is 1.23456. |
Returns the numeric value designated by the wildcard characters ‘#’. Any non-numeric characters are ignored. Spaces are used in the parse string to position the wildcard characters. (Do not substitute the underline (_) character for a space.) |
PARSE "text_to_compare" |
When the string in the text buffer is NET ¤ ¤+ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤1.23456-g the command PARSE "NET ¤¤+" returns a value of 1 because the text being searched (first six characters of the text buffer) exactly matches the text of the command. |
Returns a value of 1 when the parse string completely matches the examined data or the value of 0 when any discrepancies occur. |
