ARB

ARB allows you to match an arbitrary number of characters from the current search position, regardless of character value. The most common use of ARB is for wildcard constructions.

Use ARB when the number of characters and not the character content is important.

Syntax:

pattern := ARB (integer)

Example:

ARB (1); ! Match the next character.

PAT$1 := "U" & ARB (3); ! Matches Unix, UNIX, and Undo

Errors:

TPU$_MINVALUE Parameter must be greater than 0.
