missing string functions in onshape - missing in documentation

wolfgang_maier

Hello,

missing in documentation:

Escape char '\' for strings. In onshape '\' is used but not documented.

change request:

stringToNumber( string) should accept leading/trailing whitespace chars. ' 123 ' should result in value 123.

missing string functions in onshape:

TRIM( string ) - remove leading+trailing whitespace chars from string.

LTRIM, RTRIM (string) - similar to TRIM removing leading or trailing whitespace chars

CHAR( int ) - return the character value from ascii/unicode value

SUBSTR( string, start, length ) - return a substring from string

WORD( string, n, separator ) - return the n-th word of a string. separator holds separations chars ' ,;')

CODEPAGE - return the codepage used.

MATCH2 (string, regex) - results in: hasMatch = true when substring matches the regex. [] array of matching values

Example: MATCH2("3,456,789", "([0-9]{1,3},)+"): should result in: { "captures" : [3,456,] , "hasMatch" : true }

So the analysis of parameter strings would be much easier.

Now to get the values in string "3,456,789" you need 3 lines of code to achieve the same result.

Example: replace("3,456,789", "(,[0-9]+)", "")) - cut off everything but first value.
