Subject: NB function: evaluate string as alphanumeric

I struggled for nearly 2 hours trying to get several different ‘canned’ VB and JScript scripts to do a check for a string to see if it is alphanumeric (no non alphanumeric characters ex: !@#$ %^&*() etc.).
Then I realized how easy it would be to do in NB. It took less than 10 min to put it together along with a demo app!
Here is the Neobook function you can save as a text file and save in your \functions folder under the NB install. There are two parameters: variable with string to be evaluated & result.
| Code: |
{NeoBook Function}
Version=5.70
Param=[%1]|Variable|Variable with strring to be evaluated
Param=[%2]|Variable|NB Variable to show True/False (False return includes position of non alphanumeric character
{End}
SetVar "[AlphaNumList]" "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890"
StrLen "[%1]" "[ThisStrLen]"
Loop "1" "[ThisStrLen]" "[WILL_Alpha]"
SubStr "[%1]" "[WILL_Alpha]" "1" "[testthis]"
.StickyNote "-1" "-1" "Testing [testthis]" "500"
SearchStr "[testthis]" "[AlphaNumList]" "[where_non_alphanum]" ""
If "[where_non_alphanum]" "=" "0"
SetVar "[%2]" "False,[WILL_Alpha]"
ExitLoop
Else
SetVar "[%2]" "True"
Endif
Endloop

Here is a demo pub that calls the function with the name ‘isAlphaNumeric’
