I do not think that vowels are automatically detected, so you need to put the chars representing vowel sounds into a variabel tVowels . Run a repeat for each char tChar of the string and check if tChar is in tVowels, like this (using Norwegian vowels as an example)
put “aeioyæøå” into tVowels repeat for each char tChar in tString if tChar is in tVowels then add 1 to tNumberOfVowels end if answer tNumberOfVowels end repeat Regards Tore > 7. aug. 2017 kl. 19:42 skrev Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > Yes, here's "Mr Sanskrit" asking what is probably a very goofy question > indeed: > > I have a series of long strings of characters such as: > > LarrygubAndCheesemakemyfeetstink > > and I would like a happy little routine that could trot along each string > and, for each character (and this is ONLY confined > to the Latin alphabet, at the moment) tell me (or, more importantly, other > scripts) whether it is a VOWEL or a CONSONANT. > > Of course, having learnt from Mark Waddingham about the effective nature of G > & T s, I may end up answering my own e-mail . . . > > Thanks Mark, I knew you had more to tell me than "just" computer programming > :-) > > Richmond. > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
