Examples

Basic Examples  (3)

Interpret strings:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["String"]["b19nj2gf"]
Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["String"]["foo"]

Restrict to a pattern:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter[Restricted["String", "a*"]][{"ab", "ba"}]

Set a bound for the length:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter[Restricted["String", Automatic, 5]]["abcdefg"]

An empty string is an acceptable input for Interpreter["String"], but not within FormFunction, where the empty string and an empty field are considered equivalent:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["String"][""]
Wolfram Language code: form = FormFunction[{"a string" -> "String"}, f]; form[{"a string" -> ""}]
