StrSpn and StrCSpn functions in the help

[Dany]

Hi,
I think that the description of "StrSpn" and "StrCSpn" are exchanged. Anyway, in the replacement lib from Janni/Yo2lio the descriptions are different with respect to those in the help.

Thanks in advance!

I think that the description of "StrSpn" and "StrCSpn" are exchanged. Anyway, in the replacement lib from Janni/Yo2lio the descriptions are different with respect to those in the help.

They sound different but mean the same .

Compare the two sentences:

Computes the length of the maximum initial segment of the string S1
which consists entirely of the characters from the string S2

The function returns the index of first character located in s1 that does not match a character in s2.

Now consider a string S1 of which first 2 chars may be found in S2. According to first sentence, result of StrSpn equals 2. According to the second description, result will equal 2, as well, because that's the index of first char not belonging to S2.

It's similar with the StrCSpn function.

Hi!

I'll notify our Help developers regarding this issue. It will be fixed in the next compiler release.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Slavisa,

There doesn't seem to be a need for changes. Both functions work according to their descriptions.
True, I used another way to describe their functioning in a replacement lib, but the meaning is the same, even if at first sight the logic seems to be reversed.

Ok!

It was a minor misunderstanding.
