CharactType (Function)

In french: CaractType

Returns information about the type of character.

Example

CharactType("A") // the function returns ctAlpha|ctUppercase

CharactType("é") // the function returns ctAlpha|ctLowercase|ctAccent

// Checks if a character is a letter
IF BitwiseAND(CharactType("c"), ctAlpha) <> 0 THEN
	Trace("This character is a letter")
END

Syntax

<Result> = CharactType(<Character>)

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

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

<Character>: Character string

Character to use.

Remarks

The character 0 returns 0.
Some character information can be combined: a character can be an accented letter.. In this case, the following constants can be combined: ctAccent, ctLettre, ctMajuscule and ctMinuscule.
To check a single piece of information (for example, if the character is a letter): we recommend testing the corresponding constant using the BitwiseAND function or the "&" operator.. For example:
```
// Checks if a character is a letter
IF BitwiseAND(CharactType("c"), ctAlpha) <> 0 THEN
	Trace("This character is a letter")
END
```
