Algorithm (Workflow)
This function, clipboardrem, is designed to remove comment characters from the clipboard content. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 4.0. The function is authored by Tim C. Lueth.
Input Parameters
- maxc: An optional parameter that specifies the maximum number of characters to process. If not provided, it defaults to 74.
Output Results
- C: The processed clipboard content with comment characters removed.
Algorithm Steps
- Initialize
maxc to 74. If an argument is provided, update maxc with the given value.
- Define
comm as the comment character sequence '% ' and sep as the newline character.
- Retrieve the current clipboard content using
clipboard('paste') and store it in A.
- Find positions of carriage return and newline characters in
A and store them in s. Also, find positions of spaces and tab characters and store them in a.
- If both
s and a are not empty, proceed with the following steps:
- Set
a and s to their first elements.
- If the first character of
A is less than '0' and s is greater than a, perform the following:
- Extract the substring from the start of
A to a and store it in remstr.
- Prepend
sep to A.
- Find occurrences of
sep followed by remstr in A and remove them using strfindex function calls.
- Remove the first character from
A and store the result in C.
- If no output argument is specified, copy
C back to the clipboard.
