FilterOut

Description

Specify an input string and a mask to filter that string, so substrings that match that mask will not be let into the output string. Only strings that do not match the set mask will be let in.

Syntax

target.strlib.filterout( input, filter )

input: String to be parsed

filter: Regular expression mask to filter the input string

Return value

This function returns a string.

Sample

'---------- Start ----------

Function Start

Dim str, str2

str = "No numbers are allowed 7 2794 3 36 53"

str2 = target.strlib.FilterOut( str, "\d" )

end function

In this case the input string will be filtered for numbers and only non-numeric characters will be let into the output string so the final string will be "No numbers are allowed".
