Well, Tokenish isn't a class, it's a class variable containing a list of all the characters considered 'tokenish' (see Character>>#tokenish).

You really shouldn't find yourself using constructions like

String classPool at: #CaseSensitiveOrder

.. to do so implies some pretty serious misunderstanding somewhere along the line.

If you want to find a substring you really ought to use String>>#findString:startingAt:caseSensitive: if you need to control the case sensitivity, or just String>>#findString:startingAt: if the default of true is ok.

Assuming your problem is a bit more general in that you need to split two-word phrases that have been agglomerated, we might try

|input firstOne| input := 'complexgrammar'. firstOne := 'complex'.

^String streamContents: [:strm| strm nextPutAll: firstOne capitalized. strm space. strm nextPutAll: (input allButFirst: firstOne size) capitalized]

Note that this doesn't do any checking of the existence of anything after the firstOne string, or even that firstOne exists within input.

fwiw, here is what I came up with.

If anybody knows an elegant way to do this, much appreciated.

|str f l r| str := 'complexgrammar'. f := (str from: 1 to:(str findSubstring: 'grammar' in:str startingAt: 1 matchTable: ( String classPool at: #CaseSensitiveOrder)) -1). l := (str from: (str findSubstring: 'grammar' in:str startingAt: 1 matchTable: ( String classPool at: #CaseSensitiveOrder)) to:(str size)). r := (f capitalized) , ' ' , (l capitalized) . r inspect

Hi folks.

I am trying to figure out how to separate some words in a string 'complexgrammar' so I can print Complex Grammar.

looking for solutions, I find Tokenish, a class that does nothing with no comment.

I think it may be a former colleague of mine.

Hi Tim

Those constructions are in the method comments of ByteString for that method.

" ' ' findSubstring: 'abc' in: 'abcdefabcd' startingAt: 1 matchTable: CaseSensitiveOrder 1

Yes, and they're fine because they are within the class(es) that 'own' that class variable. Use the scope, Luke!

Regarding "not a class, but a class variable"

I open a browser and search for the class Tokenish.

It shows up in Category Unknown as a sub-class of Object

That.... is weird. I don't see it in my 22709 update squeak 6 image. I wouldn't expect to see it.

As it's categorized as Unknown, I would guess that you have created it by yourself by accident. This can happen when you do-it/print-it MyUnknownGlobal and confirm the automatic undeclared variable dialog to create a new class. Is that possible? You could validate that hypothesis by locating the class def in your changes file or your change set. [Image]

Very definitely sometihng I'd like to see the code for. If nothing else, package it and add to SqueakMap!
