1. Win32Lib Feature Request
Please include this in Win32Lib (if not already!) and tell me where to put
it in my own copy... I asked nicely! :)
----
function matchItem( integer List_ID, sequence matchTerm )
This function would return a sequence of item numbers -OR- the items
themselves that in whole or part matched the matchTerm. An empty sequence is
return when no matches are found.
Example:
-- myList = {"IADCDAYW.DOT","OTHER.DOT","IADCFOOT.DOT","IADCTURN.DOT"}
junk = matchItem( myList, "IADC" )
junk could now equal { "IADCDAYW.DOT","IADCFOOT.DOT","IADCTURN.DOT"}
-or, if returning values only,
junk could equal { 1, 3, 4 }

Oh. Well, I've got something working for me... I just think it should be=20
standard code. But who cares what I think, right? You people just code al=
l=20
day and go on vacations whenever you want!!!!
--=20
My Microsoft OS... it's just for games, now.

Strtok-v2-1 can find them using various combinations of matchtok, findtok, or
wildntok, matchntok, and retrieve them with gettok,, for instance:
junk = gettok(myList,wildntok(myList,"IADC*",0,""),"")
You can select case-insensitivity for find, get, match, etc, in v2-1 too.

Yep, matchntok or wildntok will do that. Either case-sensitively, or
insensitively. the difference is that matchntok is like a wildntok using *IADC*,
and you know your match is only at the start of the sequences, so i'd use
IADC* in wildntok. If you break up the subsequences into more dotted form,
strtok gets even more precise in what you can locate.

The problem is, I have to retrieve the data from myList (the control) fir=
st=20
and put it into a sequence... something like this:
for t =3D 1 to getCount( myList ) do
=09mySeq =3D append(mySeq, getItem( myList , t )
end for
junk =3D gettok( mySeq, wildntok(mySeq,"IADC*",0,""),"")
If I want to match "IADC" anywhere in the string, I'm guessing I use "*IA=
DC*"=20
right?
Thanks, Kat!

but your list is already in a sequence, remember:
myList =
{"IADCDAYW.DOT","OTHER.DOT","IADCFOOT.DOT","IADCTURN.DOT"}

Or matchtok, matchntok. The way you say myList is set up, you don't even
run thru the parse/deparse routines in strtok.

No, that was just indicating what myList would look like if in a sequence=
=2E..=20
:)

No, the sequence elements come from a winblows list control.
