Converting Numeric String To Integer

[Wolfman 0]

I'm trying to iterate over a string and distinguish between numerals and letters, such as in "abcd123efg"

 

My first attempt was:

set(#x,"abcd123efg","Global")
add list to list(%chars,$list from text($character list(#x),$new line),"Delete","Global")
set(#numbers,0,"Global")
set(#letters,0,"Global")
with each(%chars,#y) {
    if($comparison($is number(#y),"= Equals",$true)) {
        then {
            increment(#numbers)
        }
        else {
            increment(#letters)
        }
    }
}

however the debugger revealed that #letters was being incremented for every character. Thinking that perhaps I need to convert the string representation to an integer, I wrote a small function in python to do so:

set(#x,"abcd123efg","Global")
add list to list(%chars,$list from text($character list(#x),$new line),"Delete","Global")
set(#numbers,0,"Global")
set(#letters,0,"Global")
with each(%chars,#y) {
    set(#y,$ConvertStringToInt(#y),"Global")
    if($comparison($is number(#y),"= Equals",$true)) {
        then {
            increment(#numbers)
        }
        else {
            increment(#letters)
        }
    }
}
define $ConvertStringToInt(#string_char) {
    set(#char_to_return,$run python with result("def convertStringToInt(string):
    if string.isdigit():
        return int(string)
    else:
        return string
convertStringToInt(\"{#string_char}\")"),"Global")
    return(#char_to_return)
}

However I'm getting the same result; the $is_number comparison only returns FALSE.

 

Any ideas how I might accomplish this?

$is number is returning "True" and you are checking for "true" (I know it shouldn't be like that maybe open a tracker report)

 

Try this:

set(#x,"abcd123efg","Global")
add list to list(%chars,$list from text($character list(#x),$new line),"Delete","Global")
set(#numbers,0,"Global")
set(#letters,0,"Global")
with each(%chars,#y) {
    if($is number(#y)) {
        then {
            increment(#numbers)
        }
        else {
            increment(#letters)
        }
    }
}

Thank you, that is a little counter-intuitive
