length and index help

-----------------------------------

im doing a program for school called the "word canibalizer". apparently its supped to take the raw components of a word and display them on the screen. for example...

input = 12er45yu
output
- 4 numbers
- 2 vowels
- 2 constanants
- 0 other
- 0 spaces

i do not have any clue on how either index or length work, or how they can be put together to make such a program. even after the teacher explained it to me countless times, im still lost. can any1 help me out here?

Here's a hint:

const numbers := "0123456789"

for i : 1 .. length (input)
    if index (numbers, input (i)) > 0 then
        num_of_numbers += 1
    end if
end for

Technically you can.  But my bits go back to 1000 when I make another post, so its wasted.  It's the thought that counts, though! :)

Oh, I think I owed you approximately 15 bits for calling me canvas.  Enjoy.
