[email protected] Status: RO Hi - name's Kenneth - I'm new to the group, and new to ICON. Looking through a list of functions, I am wondering if this is an accurate list of functions that deal pretty much solely with text, user i/o, and common file reading tasks? # locate initial character any(c,s,i1,i2) : i3 # position string at center center(s1,i,s2) : s3 # produce character char(i) : s # remove tabs detab(s1,i1,i2,...,in) : s2 # insert tabs entab(s1,i1,i2,..
,in) : s2 # find string find(s1,s2,i1,i2) : i3,i4,...,iN # produce string image image(x) : s # position string at left left(s1,i,s2) : s3 # locate many characters many(c,s,i1,i2) : i3 # map characters map(s1,s2,s3) : s4 # match initial string match(s1,s2,i1,i2) : i3 # replicate string repl(s1,i) : s2 # reverse string reverse(s1) : s2 # position string at right right(s1,i,s2) : s3 # convert to string string(x) : s # set scanning position tab(i) : s # create table table(x) : T # trim string trim(s1,c) : s2 # locate characters upto(c,s,i1,i2) : i3,i4,...,in # write line write(x1,x2,...,xn) : xn # write string writes(x1,x2,...,xn) # get keyboard character getch() : s # get and echo keyboard character getche() : s # check for keyboard character kbhit() : n # read line read(f) : s # read string reads(f,i) : s The reason I ask is that I am going from Visual Basic for applications (Microsoft Excel and Access mostly, although I've used it for Word),
and I did some work in Turbo Pascal 6 many years back... and want to know if this is an appropriate list to start with? -Kenneth
