Syntax

             string2 = Strings.scanString(string);
(string2, nextIndex) = Strings.scanString(string, startIndex=1, message="");

Description

Function scanString scans the string starting at index "startIndex", checks whether the next token is a String literal and returns its value as a String, as well as the index directly after the String. An assert is triggered, if the scanned string does not contain a String literal with optional leading white space.

(result, nextIndex) = scanString(string, startIndex, message)
