Loop Utility Expansion Tokens

 

Loop utility expansion tokens are tokens that are available for use inside any loop construct, and insert information based on the processing status of the current loop.

The loop utility tokens are:

Token

Description

<,>

Inserts a comma UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<+>

Inserts a plus sign UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<:>

Inserts a colon UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<&&>

Inserts a logical AND operator (&&) UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<.AND.>

Inserts a Synergy logical AND operator (.AND.) UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<AND>

This token inserts the word AND UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<||>

Inserts a logical OR operator (||) UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<.OR.>

Inserts a Synergy logical OR operator (.OR.) UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<OR>

Inserts the word OR, UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<BSLASH> 

Inserts a backward slash character (\) UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<FSLASH>
 

Inserts a forward slash character (/) UNLESS the final loop iteration is being processed, in which case inserts nothing.

<PROCESSED_EXCLUSIVE>

 

Inserts the number of items already processed by the current loop EXCLUDING the current item. For example, if a loop with 10 items is being processed, and the 8th item is currently being processed, the value 7 will be inserted. This is because 7 items have already been processed before the current item.

 

<PROCESSED_INCLUSIVE>

Inserts the number of items already processed by the current loop INCLUDING the current item. For example, if a loop with 10 items is being processed, and the 8th item is currently being processed, the value 8 will be inserted. This is because the loop is currently processing the 8th item.

 

<REMAINING_EXCLUSIVE>

Inserts the number of remaining items to be processed by the current loop EXCLUDING the current item. For example, if a loop with 10 items is being processed, and the 8th item is currently being processed, the value 2 will be inserted. This is because there are 2 items still to be processed after the current item.

 

<REMAINING_EXCLUSIVE_MAX_n>

 

Similar to <REMAINING_EXCLUSIVE> except that if the number of items remaining is greater than n (a positive integer value) then the value of n will be inserted.

 

<REMAINING_INCLUSIVE>

Inserts the number of remaining items to be processed by the current loop INCLUDING the current item. For example, if a loop with 10 items is being processed, and the 8th item is currently being processed, the value 3 will be inserted. This is because there are 3 items still to be processed, including the current field.

 

<REMAINING_INCLUSIVE_MAX_n>

 

Similar to <REMAINING_INCLUSIVE> except that if the number of items remaining is greater than n (a positive integer value) then the value of n will be inserted.

 

<TOTAL_ITEMS>

 

Inserts the total number of items that will be processed by the current loop.
