TEXT ANALYSIS

▶ TEXT ANALYSIS

Tyl has system variables and a string module that can be used to work with texts.

This is a demonstration of analysing information that is in a settings file 'app.settings':

path 'C:\temp\app.settings'

content io.read path

lines string.lines content

smap { name '' age 0 height 0 isstudent ｆ }

not lines ?

print 'settings file is empty!'

⇋

lines line ~

ind string.index line '='

key string.section line 0 ind

value getvalue string.section line ( ind + 1 )

smap key value

print key + ': ' + value

ᐤ

getvalue value »

result number.of value

not null result ? ✖✖ result

result bool.of value

not null result ? ✖✖ result

value

name: Tony
age: 22
height: 171.5
isstudent: true

To test this program, create a file 'app.settings', with this content:

name=Tony
age=22
height=171.50
isstudent=true

All string functionality can be found in String Module Reference.
