<@REGEX EXPR="[[:alnum:]]+" STR="abc5 defgHijklm;no p4qrstuv)0wx,yz"
TYPE="E" position=all>
will return:
abc5 1 4 1
defgHijklm 6 10 2
no 17 2 3
p4qrstuv 20 8 4
0wx 29 3 5
yz 33 2 6
thus:
<@REGEX EXPR="[^[:alnum:]]+" STR="abc5 defgHijklm;no p4qrstuv)0wx,yz"
TYPE="E" position=all>
will return
5 1 1
; 16 1 2
19 1 3
) 28 1 4
, 32 1 5
(If the string in question is alphanumeric the number of rows in the second
array should be zero)...
If I can be of further assistance please contact me.
