CHARNOLIST()
Lists the characters that do not appear in a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
CHARNOLIST([<cString>]) --> cNotContained
Argument
<cString> Designates the string that is processed. The default
value is for an empty string.
Returns
CHARNOLIST() returns a character string that contains all characters not
found in <cString>.
Description
This function determines all characters that are not contained in
<cString>. The resulting characters might be used as replacement
characters or for complex deletion procedures.
Examples
. Delete all characters except "XYZ":
String := "ABXCDYEF"
? CHARREM(CHARNOLIST("XYZ"), String) // "XY"
. Generate a list of all 256 ASCII characters:
? CHARNOLIST()
. To save text to a memo field, all null characters (CHR(0))
must be exchanged for a character that is not being used:
cNoList := CHARNOLIST(cMemoText)
cNoChar := SUBSTR(cNoList, 1, 1)
CHARREPL(CHR(0), @cMemoText, cNoChar)
