The MetaCard documentation (Concepts & techniques - 33) says that 'The size
of token chunks is defined by the MetaTalk language interpreter. In
general, each continuous string of numeric or alphanumeric characters is a
token, as is each punctuation mark.'
I've tryed to precise the 'fuzzy logic' of 'in general'.
The result is in the following table.
Character Is a delimiter is a token
, y y
/ y y
= y y
+ y y
- y y
* y y
( y y
) y y
[ y y
] y y
< y y
> y y
{ y y
} y y
; y n
space y n
tab y n
" (if 2 presents) y(token=chars between) n
? n
. n
: n
@ n
' n
_ n
` n
Don't use # or \ in the string to parse.
I hope this can be of some interest for somebody else than me.
