nbrs from data record

[Robert L Hamilton]

I'm using this:

Lcase =  'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
Ucase =  'QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM()'
SPEC  =  "!@#$%^&*()_/;'[]=<>?:{}|+"
--
chars =  Lcase || Ucase || SPEC || '"'
NBRS = '1212 abc45lkj66"54du_______f-9876.,'.translate(' ', chars );
NBRS = NBRS.space;
nbr_words = NBRS.Words;
say NBRS;
say nbr_words;

say 'Last nbr is :' NBRS.word(NBRS.Words);

To produce this:

1212 45 66 54 -9876.,
5
Last nbr is : -9876.,

I don't see in TnRL nor in NetRexx 2 (22 May 2009) any way to specify a range of Characters.

???

That's because NetRexx works in Unicode, so there are lots of possible ranges of characters, including (or not) accented characters, non-latin characters, etc.

 

You can usually save a bit of typing by using the .upper method to create the uppercase range from the lowercase, for example.
