I had a short-lived brilliant idea to remove 1/3 of the subroutine, but it didn't work, so I reinstated the original statement, but I re-typed the comment incorrectly. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 05:41, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
== COMPRESS in REXX ==
What is compress? Which Rexx has it??
Would space(...,0) do the job??? --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 08:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
: The '''compress''' BIF is supported by the ARexx REXX interpreter, as well as Regina when the appropriate '''options''' are specified, and also in Regina when Regina is executing on (or an equivalent) Commodore Amiga 1000 (A1000), known commonly as the Amiga. The '''compress''' BIF is documented in the Regina (PDF) documentation. I can't speak to any other REXXes that may support that BIF. As far as I know, '''compress''' is equivalent to '''space(xxx,0)''', but I don't know how it treats whitespace other than blanks. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
:: In Regina doc I read that all blanks are removed. So does SPACE(xxx,0) as far as I know.
Does ARexx >not< support space(xxx,0)? --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 19:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
::: ARexx does support '''space(xxx,0)'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 04:31, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
:::: But Compress() is more versatile. -- [[User:Idrougge|Idrougge]] ([[User talk:Idrougge|talk]]) 09:56, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
::::: That may be true, but the '''compress''' BIF isn't supported by most of the REXX interpreters available. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 21:42, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

From my experience trying to do it in R, supporting Unicode while stripping punctuation and white space is hard, but is it really so hard that hardly any of our solutions have done it?--[[User:ReeceGoding|ReeceGoding]] ([[User talk:ReeceGoding|talk]]) 20:28, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
