WORDONLY()
Finds the common denominator between two strings on the basis of double
characters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
WORDONLY(<cDoubleCharacter>,<cString>) --> cString
Arguments
<cDoubleCharacter> Designates the 2-byte sequences that are not
removed from <cString>.
<cString> Designates a character string from which 2-byte sequences
that do not appear in <cDoubleCharacter> are removed.
Returns
WORDONLY() returns the modified string.
Description
This function deletes all 2-byte sequences in <cString> that do not
appear in <cDoubleCharacter>. This function is very useful in
applications where 16-bit integer values have been saved to strings
using the CA-Clipper I2BIN() function.
Note
. The function always processes strings in ordered pairs.
Examples
. This example shows a simple common denominator. The second
string contains only the 2-byte sequences that are also contained in
the first string:
? WORDONLY("AABBCCDD", "XXAAYYBBZZ") // "AABB"
. Both strings are always processed in ordered pairs:
? WORDONLY("AABBCCDD", "XAAYYBBZZ") // "BB"
