Issue/Introduction

DMS Script Function GetToken returns strange result is the string contains some quote characters. It looks like quote character is sometimes interpreted as a delimiter even if it has not been set in SetTokenizerInput function.

Here is an example showing the problem.

Following script :

 

Dim strInternalContent As String 
DIM delim AS STRING 


FUNCTION TEST_GETTOKEN(Str AS STRING, Delim AS STRING) AS INTEGER 

Dim strInternalToken As String 
DIM i AS INTEGER 
 

print("STRING= "+str) 
print("DELIM= "+Delim) 

i=1 
SetTokenizerInput(str, Delim) 

While GetToken(strInternalToken) 
print("Token"+STR(i)+" = "+strInternalToken) 
i=i+1 
Wend 

print("") 

TEST_GETTOKEN=0 

 

END FUNCTION 

' ----------------- MAIN -------------------- 

strInternalContent = """TEST1"",""TEST2"",""TEST3"",""TEST4""" 
delim="," 
TEST_GETTOKEN(strInternalContent, delim) 

delim=";" 
TEST_GETTOKEN(strInternalContent, delim) 

strInternalContent = """TEST1"",""TEST2""-""TEST3"",""TEST4""" 
delim="," 
TEST_GETTOKEN(strInternalContent, delim) 

strInternalContent = """TEST1"",""TEST2""-""TEST3"",""TEST4""" 
delim="-" 
TEST_GETTOKEN(strInternalContent, delim) 

strInternalContent = " ""TEST1"", ""TEST2"",""TEST3"",""TEST4""" 
delim="," 
TEST_GETTOKEN(strInternalContent, delim) 


 

returns these wrong result :
 

STRING= "TEST1","TEST2","TEST3","TEST4" 
DELIM= , 
Token1 = TEST1 
Token2 = TEST2 
Token3 = TEST3 
Token4 = TEST4 

STRING= "TEST1","TEST2","TEST3","TEST4" 
DELIM= ; 
Token1 = TEST1 
Token2 = ,"TEST2","TEST3","TEST4" 

STRING= "TEST1","TEST2"-"TEST3","TEST4" 
DELIM= , 
Token1 = TEST1 
Token2 = TEST2 
Token3 = -"TEST3" 
Token4 = TEST4 

STRING= "TEST1","TEST2"-"TEST3","TEST4" 
DELIM= - 
Token1 = TEST1 
Token2 = ,"TEST2" 
Token3 = TEST3 
Token4 = ,"TEST4" 

STRING= "TEST1", "TEST2","TEST3","TEST4" 
DELIM= , 
Token1 = "TEST1" 
Token2 = "TEST2" 
Token3 = TEST3 
Token4 = TEST4
