How to identify string elements, Real or string inside a string element

Hi !

The .objectType() method will always returns a STRING in your case because the .substring() method returns a STRING.

You can check if the STRING corresponds to digits or not using the .isDigits() method:

q var !a.isDigits()

Here is the list of the STRING methods:

Thank you, will check now and update

Hi Leo, it is not helping me.

You have to use the .isDigits() method on your character (!c), not on your full String.

Hi, Its' working, helps to proceed further

<BOOLEAN> TRUE

<STRING> '1'

<BOOLEAN> TRUE

<STRING> '2'

<BOOLEAN> TRUE

<STRING> '2'

<BOOLEAN> FALSE

<STRING> 'E'

<BOOLEAN> TRUE

<STRING> '1'

<BOOLEAN> FALSE

<STRING> 'A'

<BOOLEAN> TRUE

<STRING> '1'

Hi,

A small question as continuaution.

!a = '122E1A1'
!s1 = !a.length()
do !i from 1 to !s1
!c = !a.substring(!i,1)
!t = !c.isDigits()
if (!t eq FALSE) then
break
endif
q var !c
enddo

var !c is giving three values after break, like 1, 2 , 2 Iindividual strings, how to concatenate these strings.

Hi,

You can create an empty STRING before your loop:

!digitsPart = ''

And then add each character to this string within your loop:

!digitsPart = !digitsPart + !c

!a = '122E1A1'
!s1 = !a.length()
!digitsPart = ''
do !i from 1 to !s1
!c = !a.substring(!i,1)
!t = !c.isDigits()
if (!t eq FALSE) then
break
endif
!digitsPart = !digitsPart + !c
enddo
q var !digitsPart

122

Succeeded, Thank you very much.

Good job
