Need assist in Vectorscript in manipulating text

[Phil Cartier]

HI all: I need an assist in creating Vectorscripts to change text properties: e.g.: lower case to upper, upper to title caps, color, etc.  Many TIA.

Are you ready to pick some people up off the floor? 😉

 

For this you are probably better off using Python. You can use the Python text handling routines rather than the Vectorscript ones. The Python text handling is much more powerful.

 

If you don't want to change your entire script to Python, you can use the PythonExecute or PythonBeginContext/PythonEndContext to run a Python script inside of a Vectorscript.   Use vs.GetVSVar and vs.SetVSVar inside the Python script to read and write VS "String" (DynArray of Char) variables to pass data in and out.

Python's string handling is famously more powerful, but none of what you describe would seem to need it.

 

1. VS function "UprString()" will convert a string to upper case

2. My only experience with title caps is as a font.  I would convert the string to that font using "SetTextFont()"

3. Changing the color of text is just a matter of setting its color with "SetPenFore()"

 

If you need help with how to use vectorscript itself that is a whole other ballgame.  You would need to describe exactly what you want to achieve and show us how far you have progressed and where you are stumped.

 

Lastly, do you want an example vectorscript?  If so, to do exactly what with what?
