ediSyntaxLevel.AddNumberRepertoire

Adds a string that will be or become part of the numeric character sets.

Syntax:

• <lRetVal> = object.AddNumberRepertoire (<string>)

 Parameters:

Remarks

The character set is represented internally as a binary which allows any special character to be part of the numeric character set.  Special characters in the string can also be represented as a string of decimal ASCII value using the format: {DD,DD,…}.  

Example 1.  To add the English numeric characters.

 oSyntaxLevel.AddCharacterRepertoire (“1234567890”)

 Example 2.  To represent the numbers “456” in decimal ASCII value.
