StringTokenizer.FirstTokenIndex Property

 Top 

Description

Moves the internal position of the Tokens StringArray to the first index and then returns the index of the internal position. This will always return a value of 0, since that is the index of the first element in the array. After calling this property, StringTokenizer.NextToken will return the value of the first element in the array.

Example 1

The example below shows how to use the StringTokenizer.FirstTokenIndex property to return the internal position to the beginning of the string.

 

StringTokenizer ST;

ST.StringToParse = "one two three four";

 

// Report two tokens

Report ST.NextToken;

Report ST.NextToken;

 

// FirstTokenIndex returns position back to the beginning of the string

Report ST.FirstTokenIndex;

 

// Report first two tokens again

Report ST.NextToken;

Report ST.NextToken;

 

Output:

 

NextToken       = one

NextToken       = two

FirstTokenIndex = 0.000000000

NextToken       = one

NextToken       = two
