GetLeaderFillPosition Function
Overview
The GetLeaderFillPosition function locates the starting position of a leader (including spaces).
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
int = GetLeaderFillPosition ( string data );
Parameters
data
A string containing text and a leader.
Return Value
Returns an int as the first zero-based position of the left side of the leader or -1 if the parameter does not contain a leader. This function does not set the last error code.
Remarks
Leaders are the fill after a string, such as a table stub, for example:
Current assets
Cash and cash equivalents....................... $ 9,478 $ 3,697
Accounts receivable, net........................ 18,191 24,301
Inventories ................................ 99,384 103,743
Prepaid expenses................................ 11,635 11,569
Other current assets............................ 4,592 6,436
-------- --------
Total current assets........................ 143,280 149,746
The string must end with the leader so in the above example, the numbers are removed.
The GetLeaderFillPosition function checks for both dot (‘.’) and ellipse (‘…’) leader fill. There is UNICODE support for ellipse leader fill characters. Dot leader fill must contain at least three periods to be considered leader fill. A dot leader fill may also contain spaces but only one space can exist between two dots (“. . . . . .”).
