Folks,
Is there a single-pass mechanism or more efficient way of returning the
wordOffset of each instance of ‘the’ in ‘the quick brown fox jumped over the
lazy dog’ than to use two passes through the text?
Pass-1. Count the instances of ‘the’ into an array and then
Pass-2. Repeat for the count of instances using wordOffset, with a wordsToSkip
variable derived from the previous loop’s offset
I’m I’m wondering if there’s something I’ve not yet learned about (nested?)
arrays that might extend the unique word counter code that Alex, Paul & others
helped me to fix a few days ago, to add a sub-array of wordOffset alongside
word count?
# Prepare noisewords array
repeat for each trueWord W in tNoiseWords
put true into tANoise[W]
end repeat
# Build unique words array
repeat for each trueWord W in tSource
if tANoise[W] then next repeat
add 1 to tAWords[W][N]
end repeat
# Convert unique words array to list
repeat for each key K in tAWords
put K && tAWords[K][N] & CR after fld "Words"
end repeat
sort lines of field "Words" descending numeric by word 2 of each
end repeat
Any ideas or steer towards a lesson / worked example greatly appreciated.
Best,
Keith
