StringScanner.SkipToDigit Function

Syntax

Result_Flag as L = SkipToDigit as l()

Arguments

Result_Flag: True if an digit was found.

Description

Skip until a digit (0-9) is encountered. Return true if successful.

Discussion

The <StringScanner>.SkipToDigit() function moves the offset to the next digit (0-9). The offset does not move if it is already pointing to a digit.

Example

dim scanner as P
dim txt as C
txt = <<%text%
