WordSeparators
WordSeparators
is an option for Read, Find, and related functions that specifies the list of strings to be taken as delimiters for words.
- The default setting is WordSeparators->{" ", "\t"}.
- Strings used as word separators may contain several characters.
- With the option setting NullWords->False, any number of word separators may appear between any two successive words.
- WordSeparators->{{lsep1, ...}, {rsep1, ...}} specifies different left and right separators for words. Words must have a left separator at the beginning, a right separator at the end, and cannot contain any separators.
- Strings given as record separators are automatically taken as word separators.
