ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting The First Letters From A String Of Words?
Jan 18, 2005For a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Algorithm To Generate All Possible Letter Combinations Of Given String Down To 2 Letters
Mar 13, 2010Algorithm to generate all possible letter combinations of given string down to 2 letters
Trying to create an Anagram solver in AS3, such as this one found here:
[URL]
I'm having a problem wrapping my brain around generating all possible letter combinations for the various lengths of strings. If I was only generating permutations for a fixed length, it wouldn't be such a problem for me... but I'm looking to reduce the length of the string and obtain all the possible permutations from the original set of letters for a string with a max length smaller than the original string. For example, say I want a string length of 2, yet I have a 3 letter string of "abc", the output would be: ab ac ba bc ca cb.
Ideally the algorithm would produce a complete list of possible combinations starting with the original string length, down to the smallest string length of 2. I have a feeling there is probably a small recursive algorithm to do this, but can't wrap my brain around it. I'm working in AS3.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Check If String Is Longer
Feb 22, 2011I have a regular expression in my code. What I want it to do is to check user input. This input should be a string of 9 numbers with spaces between them.

[code]My problem is that if the strong with number is longer, the usual test method still returns a true. Is there a way to check if the string is longer then this?
