Hi,

Is there an easy way to convert an alpha series to an svector? That is, aside from using a loop with element by element assignment into a new svector?

As I understand it it is possible to convert a text object to an s vector, but if I would go through that detour I would have problems with blank spaces.

Regards,

It works, thanks!

(Ignore my last comment that I deleted, it was incorrect)

How about the other way around - converting an svector to an alpha series? mtos doesn't seem to work well.
/Erik.

There isn't a way to do that yet.

Hi again, I've got another question about converting alpha series and the like:

There are a number of handy functions for strings, like @wunion, @wintersect and so on. Are there any equivalent functions for alpha series? If not, I would like to convert my alpha series to a rather long string. Is there any convenient way of doing that besides looping over the elements in the alphaseries?

What would @wunion or @wintersect do on an alpha?

Hi,

I guess the returned object would have to be a string or possibly an svector, and that string would be the union or intersection of the elements in the alpha. I can see why you wouldn't want to have these functions for alphas, but is there a simple way to go from an alpha to a string so that I can use them indirectly?

/Erik.

Only by looping through the elements one at a time and adding them to a string yourself.
