I would like to examine a string whether some characters are numeric (0-9) or alphabetic (a-z, A-Z).
Some examples .. "A203", "AB35", "BC208" The goal is, to extract only the numeric part of the strings. I thought of somthing similar to RegExp ... Any other suggestions to detect the numeric part of a string?
Is there a chance to get that in OriginC or with the help of Labtalk?
found a sollution - maybe there's a better one (comments wellcome!) but it's working!
// extract numeric part of Excel Cell strings // "AB665", "A678", "E6" // ATTENTION straightforward function, does it's job, // but is NOT FAILSAFE (e.g. for "A34B56") !! UINT getNumeric(string s) { int index = strcspn( s, "0123456789" ); s = s.Right(s.GetLength()-index); printf("num: %s\n", s); return atoi(s); }
