Syntax

<Result>: Integer constant (or combination of constants)

Type of studied character:
ctAccent Accented or diacritical character.
The ctAccent constant is always combined with the ctAlpha constant.
ctSpace Space.
ctAlpha Letter.
ctUppercase Uppercase character.
The ctUppercase constant is always combined with the ctAlpha constant.
ctLowercase Lowercase character.
The ctLowercase constant is always combined with the ctAlpha constant.
ctNumeric Numeric character.
ctPunctuation Punctuation character.

<Character>: Character string (with quotes)

The character 0 returns 0.
Some constants can be combined (ctAccent, ctAlpha, ctUppercase and ctLowercase): an information can be checked via BinaryAND or via the "&" operator.
