Yes. @wfind should be replaced to @instr when we want to find the position of characters.
However, as you mentioned, the step to check whether special characters are found can be ignored.
dagfinnrime wrote:About dropping "\". If the code encounters "\" then it would create "\\" which is a linebreak, which is not what you want. I'm not sure you really will use "\" that often that it is a big problem. If you want "\" in the list you have to add a special condition for that character (I think).
We can keep the list for special characters by adding an additional condition - i.e.
if %cha =
"\" then - as follows.
Code: Select all
%special = "# & % $ _ { } \ ~ ^"
for !r=1 to !nrows
for !c=1 to !ncols
%temp = {%tbl}(!r,!c)
for !i=1 to @wcount(%special)
%cha = @word(%special,!i)
if %cha = "\" then
%temp = @replace(%temp, %cha, "$\backslash$")
else
%temp = @replace(%temp, %cha, "\" + %cha)
endif
next
