GetWords
Description
Extracts an array of words of text from the input. This function is a smart way to locate and parse words just like double clicking highlights a word.
Syntax
target.strlib.GetWords( input, root_words )
input - Input string
root_words Boolean (input) - when set to true only the root of the word(s) are returned, that is all prefixes and suffixes are striped off, for example "words" or "wording" become "word" (default is false)
Return value
An array of words
Sample
'---------- Start ----------
Function Start
Dim str, arr
str = "Extract all the words in the string."
arr = target.strlib.GetWords( str, true )
trg.Message( arr(4) )
End Function
In this case GetWords extracts every word and reduces them to their root (because the root_words parameter is true) and puts them in the array arr. Then trg.Message displays the 5th element in the array.
