Syntax

CALL NOTIFY (viewer-name, '_setDelimiters', list-id);

Argument Type Description

list-id
N specifies the identifier of an SCL list containing one or more delimiters

Argument	Type	Description
list-id	N	specifies the identifier of an SCL list containing one or more delimiters

Details

The delimiters list controls what word is returned by the _getInfo method. The default delimiters list contains only a space. You may use more than one delimiter, and delimiters may be longer than one character.

Example

This example sets the delimiters to * and $$ and returns the words surrounded by these characters:

   /* create the delimiters list */
delimiters = makelist();
rc = insertc(delimiters, "*");
rc = insertc(delimiters, "$$");

   /* assign the delimiters list to the
      viewer */
call notify('textview', '_set_delimiters_',
             delimiters);

textview:
   call notify ('textview', '_get_info_', row,
                 col, text, textl,
                word, wordl);
return;

Suppose the text viewer contains this line:

one*two$$three*four$five$$six

If the user clicks on the word "two", the _getInfo method returns these values:

WORD = "two"

WORDL = 3

If the user clicks on the word "four", the _getInfo method returns these values:

WORD = "four$five"

WORDL = 9
