Answer the index of the character within the receiver, starting at start, that begins a substring matching one of the delimiters. delimiters is an Array of Strings (Characters are permitted also). If the receiver does not contain any of the delimiters, answer size + 1.
Answer the collection of String tokens that result from parsing self. Tokens are separated by 'delimiters', which can be a collection of Strings, or a collection of Characters. Several delimiters in a row are considered as just one separation.
Answer the index of the character within the receiver, starting at start, that matches one of the delimiters. If the receiver does not contain any of the delimiters, answer size + 1.
Answer the index in this String at which the substring key first occurs, at or beyond start. The match can be case-sensitive or not. If no match is found, zero will be returned.
Answer the collection of tokens that result from parsing self. Return strings between the delimiters. Any character in the Collection delimiters marks a border. Several delimiters in a row are considered as just one separation. Also, allow delimiters to be a single character.
Divide self into pieces using delimiters. Return the piece that includes subString anywhere in it. Is case sensitive (say asLowercase to everything beforehand to make insensitive).
Answer the collection of tokens that result from parsing self. The tokens are seperated by delimiters, any of a string of characters. If a delimiter is also in keepers, make a token for it. (Very useful for carriage return. A sole return ends a line, but is also saved as a token so you can see where the line breaks were.)
HyperCard style searching. Answer the index in self of the substring key, when that key is preceeded by a separator character. Must occur at or beyond start. The match is case-insensitive. If no match is found, zero will be returned.
Answer the index of the first occurence of anElement after start
within the receiver. If the receiver does not contain anElement,
answer the result of evaluating the argument, exceptionBlock.
Answer the index of the receiver's first element, such that that element
equals the first element of sub, and the next elements equal
the rest of the elements of sub. Begin the search at element
start of the receiver. If no such match is found, answer the result of
evaluating argument, exceptionBlock.
Answer the index of the last character within the receiver, starting at start, that does NOT match one of the delimiters. delimiters is a Array of substrings (Characters also allowed). If the receiver is all delimiters, answer size + 1.
Answer the index of the character within the receiver, starting at start, that does NOT match one of the delimiters. If the receiver does not contain any of the delimiters, answer size + 1. Assumes the delimiters to be a non-empty string.
Answer a comparison code telling how the receiver sorts relative to aString:
1 - before
2 - equal
3 - after.
The collation sequence is ascii with case differences ignored.
To get the effect of a <= b, but ignoring case, use (a compare: b) <= 2.
Answer whether text matches the pattern in this string.
Matching ignores upper/lower case differences.
Where this string contains #, text may contain any character.
Where this string contains *, text may contain any sequence of characters.
Answer whether text matches the pattern in this string.
Matching ignores upper/lower case differences.
Where this string contains #, text may contain any character.
Where this string contains *, text may contain any sequence of characters.
Do the basic character conversion for HTML. Leave all original return
and tabs in place, so can conver back by simply removing bracked
things. 4/4/96 tk
Return a legal identifier, with first character in upper case if shouldBeCapitalized is true, else lower case. This will always return a legal identifier, even for an empty string
Answer the Integer created by interpreting the receiver as the string representation of an integer. Answer nil if no digits, else find the first digit and then all consecutive digits after that
Strip out all Html stuff (commands in angle brackets <>) and convert
the characters &<> back to their real value. Leave actual cr and tab as
they were in text.
Return a string with all substrings that occur in tokens replaced
by a character with ascii code = 127 + token index.
This will work best if tokens are sorted by size.
Assumes this string contains no characters > 127, or that they
are intentionally there and will not interfere with this process.
Correct the receiver: assume it is a misspelled word and return the (maximum of five) nearest words in the wordList. Depends on the scoring scheme of alike:
Dan's code for hunting down selectors with keyword parts; while this doesn't give a true parse, in most cases it does what we want, in where it doesn't, we're none the worse for it.
Return a copy of the receiver up to, but not including, the first period. If the receiver's *first* character is a period, then just return the entire receiver.
Answer an array that is a splitting of self into a string and an integer.
'43Sam' ==> #(43 'Sam'). 'Try90' ==> #('Try' 90)
BUT NOTE: 'Sam' ==> #('Sam' 0), and '90' ==> #('' 90) ie, (<string> <integer>).
Answer the portion of the receiver that follows any leading series of digits and blanks. If the receiver consists entirely of digits and blanks, return an empty string
Answer the portion of the receiver that precedes any trailing series of digits and blanks. If the receiver consists entirely of digits and blanks, return an empty string
Display this string as a caption over a progress bar while workBlock is evaluated.
EXAMPLE (Select next 6 lines and Do It)
'Now here''s some Real Progress'
displayProgressAt: Sensor cursorPoint
from: 0 to: 10
during: [:bar |
1 to: 10 do: [:x | bar value: x.
(Delay forMilliseconds: 500) wait]].
HOW IT WORKS (Try this in any other language :-)
Since your code (the last 2 lines in the above example) is in a block,
this method gets control to display its heading before, and clean up
the screen after, its execution.
The key, though, is that the block is supplied with an argument,
named 'bar' in the example, which will update the bar image every
it is sent the message value: x, where x is in the from:to: range.
See RFC 2047, MIME Part Three: Message Header Extension for Non-ASCII Text.
Text containing non-ASCII characters is encoded by the sequence
=?character-set?encoding?encoded-text?=
Encoding is Q (quoted printable) or B (Base64), handled by Base64MimeConverter / RFC2047MimeConverter. The character-set (usually iso-8859-1) is ignored
Answer a string that represents the receiver. For most objects this is simply its printString, but for strings themselves, it's themselves, to avoid the superfluous extra pair of quotes. 6/12/96 sw
Primitive. This destructively replaces elements from start to stop in the receiver starting at index, repStart, in the collection, replacement. Answer the receiver. Range checks are performed in the primitive only. Optional. See Object documentation whatIsAPrimitive.
Answer the index in the string body at which the substring key first occurs, at or beyond start. The match is determined using matchTable, which can be used to effect, eg, case-insensitive matches. If no match is found, zero will be returned.
The algorithm below is not optimum -- it is intended to be translated to C which will go so fast that it wont matter.
Answer either the number of arguments that the receiver would take if considered a selector. Answer -1 if it couldn't be a selector. Note that currently this will answer -1 for anything begining with an uppercase letter even though the system will accept such symbols as selectors. It is intended mostly for the assistance of spelling correction.
Provide a MethodCall with a valid example of aSelector, ready to run. If 'all', provide all tests we know about for SUnit tests. When 'all', each will be a Verifier, with an expected answer. Returns a list of MethodCalls, Verifiers, or VerifierOfPropertys.
