CHARSWAP()

Swap neighbouring characters in a string

Syntax

CHARSWAP (<[@]cString>) -> cSwappedString

Arguments

<[@]cString> is the string that should be processed

Returns

<cSwappedString> a string where neighbour characters are swapped

Description

The CHARSWAP() function loops through <cString> in steps of two characters and exchanges the characters from the odd and the even positions. By setting the CSETREF() switch to .T., one can omit the return value of this functin, but one must then pass <cString> by reference.
Examples
      ? CHARSWAP("0123456789")   // "1032547698"
      ? CHARSWAP("ABCDEFGHIJK")  // "BADCFEHGJIK"
Tests
      CHARSWAP("0123456789")  == "1032547698"
      CHARSWAP("ABCDEFGHIJK") == "BADCFEHGJIK"
