Maxima Function
tokens (string)
tokens(string,test)
Returns a list of tokens, which have been extracted from string.
The tokens are substrings whose characters satisfy a certain test function.
If test is not given, constituent is used as the default test.
{constituent, alphacharp, digitcharp, lowercasep, uppercasep, charp, characterp, alphanumericp}
is the set of test functions.
(The Lisp-version of tokens
is written by Paul Graham. ANSI Common Lisp, 1996, page 67.)
(%i1) tokens("24 October 2005"); (%o1) [24, October, 2005] (%i2) tokens("05-10-24",'digitcharp); (%o2) [05, 10, 24] (%i3) map(parsetoken,%); (%o3) [5, 10, 24]
