- Synopsis:
- $jot(<start> <stop>)
-
- Technical:
- This script is used to obtain a series of integers, from the first input
- to the second. Negative numbers are permitted, and the series may be
- ascending or descending.
-
- Practical:
- This function is used to generate a number range. One popular use for
- this is in conjunction with $chr(), allowing a range of ascii characters
- to be returned (which then might be stripped from another string, etc.).
-
- Returns:
- * number range from start to stop
- * if less than 2 arguments, empty string
- * if more than 2 arguments, first argument
- * if non-digits entered, 0 (zero)
-
- Examples:
- $jot(2 6) returns "2 3 4 5 6"
- $jot(3 -2) returns "3 2 1 0 -1 -2"
- $jot(4) returns "" (empty string)
- $jot(4 6 8) returns "4"
- $jot(a 4) returns "0"
