exptokΒΆ

exptok splits a simple arithmetic expression into tokens.

ssToks = exptok(ssExpression)

Return Value

ssToks is a string of tokens. In case of an error ssToks is a number containing the position of the error in ssExpression.The tokens are separated by the character \2. A token consists of a type and the token string. The type and the token string are separated by the character \1.

The following token types exist:

Type Value Meaning
F$n Value is a function call. n is the number of parameters.
V Variable name.
O Operator + - \ * / ^.
S String
N Number
C Parenthesis ( or ) or Comma ,.

Parameters

ssExpression

ssExpression is an arithmetic expression. The following elements are allowed in the expression: Operators: +,-,*,/,^ Parenthesis: ( und ) Function names, variable names, string contants enclosed in "-characters, also Strings and numbers of the form 1, 1.2, 1.2e3, -1.2e-3 Functions can have an empty parameter list as in print() or a list of parameters separated by a comma (,).
