I want to write a function that will quickly remove invalid characters from a string so I am left with a valid identifier name. The identifier would start with one or more letters, digits, "_" or space. It should allow for Unicode letters.
I can check to see if the string has a valid identifier name using:
But if it has invalid symbols in the string, how do I quickly remove them?
And how do I allow for Unicode letters in the string?
TIA
I can check to see if the string has a valid identifier name using:
B4X:
'Return True if aIdentName is a valid name for an identifier otherwise return False
Sub IsValidIdentifierName(aIdentName As String) As Boolean
Dim ma As Matcher
ma = Regex.Matcher("^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\_\ ]+$", aIdentName)
If ma.Find Then
Log("String is ok " & aIdentName)
Return True
Else
Log("String not ok " & aIdentName)
Return False
End If
End SubBut if it has invalid symbols in the string, how do I quickly remove them?
