; In a string containing an order to execute with EXECUTE by example.
; We change the value of one of keywords.
; More generally, in a string, we look for the character chain: ', keywdname= ...,
; and we change the value of...
;
; @categories
; String, keywords
;
; @param STRINGIN {in}{required}{type=string}
; it is a string
;
; @param KEYWDNAME {in}{required}{type=string}
; it is a string designating the name of keyword to look for.
;
; @param KEYWDVALUE {in}{required}
; The new value of the keyword to considerate in STRINGIN
;
; @keyword SEPARATOR
; To look for the keyword, we look for the first sign = which follow
; the position of keywdname. By default, we substitute the string
; before the comma. With the keyword SEPARATOR,we can modify the cut
; of the string. SEPARATOR give a Character before the one we have to
; look for the comma which delimit the keyword in the string.
; (see examples)
;
; @keyword AFTER
; To look for the keyword, we look for the first sign = which follow
; the position of keywdname. By default, we substitute the string
; before the comma. With the keyword AFTER,we can modify the cut
; of the string. AFTER give a Character after the one we have to
; look for the comma which delimit the keyword in the string.
; (see examples)
;
; @returns
; stringout=stringin modified if keywdname has been found in stringin
;
; @uses
; common.pro
;
; @restrictions
; If keywdvalue is an array, it will be convert in a vector.
;
; @restrictions
; Beware, this function has loops, ifs ad cases everywhere. So it can
; not be used by big keywords (with a lot of elements which are big
; arrays). The input keyword must not contain Complex floatings, structure,
; Double-precision complex, Pointer, Object reference, Unsigned Integer,
; Unsigned Longword Integer, 64-bit Integer or Unsigned 64-bit Integer.
