tuple_select_range — Select several elements of a tuple.
tuple_select_range( : : Tuple, Leftindex, Rightindex : Selected)
tuple_select_range selects several consecutive elements of the
input tuple Tuple and returns them with Selected.
At this, Leftindex determines the index of the first element
and Rightindex determines the index of the last element to select.
Thus, both parameters Leftindex and Rightindex must
contain a single integer value (any floating point number must
represent an integer value without fraction). Indices of tuple elements
start at 0, that means, the first tuple element has got the index 0.
The result tuple Selected contains every element from the
tuple Tuple that has got an index between Leftindex
and Rightindex (including the elements at position
Leftindex and Rightindex). If the indices are equal,
only one element is selected.
In addition, it is possible that the right index is Leftindex - 1.
In this case and if the left or right index are valid an empty tuple
is returned. Hence, the index Rightindex must be greater or
equal to Leftindex - 1.
If Leftindex and Rightindex are empty tuples, the operator
returns an empty tuple. If only one of those parameters or Tuple
is an empty tuple, an exception is raised.
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_select_range,
which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Selected := Tuple[Leftindex:Rightindex]
Tuple (input_control) tuple(-array) → (integer / real / string)
Input tuple.
Leftindex (input_control) integer(-array) → (integer)
Index of first element to select.
Rightindex (input_control) integer(-array) → (integer)
Index of last element to select.
Selected (output_control) tuple(-array) → (integer / real / string)
Selected tuple elements.
