I had a problem about string

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

var cha : string
var a, b, c, d := ""
put "Enter a series of characters: "
const vowels := "aeiou"
const word1 := "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
const word2 := "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
loop
    get cha
    put ""
    for i : 1 .. length (cha)
        if index (vowels, cha (i)) = 0 and index (word1, cha (i)) not= 0 or index (word2, cha (i)) not= 0 then
            a := a + cha (i)
            put "consonant - ", a ..
            put ""
        elsif index (vowels, cha (i)) not= 0 then
            b := b + cha (i)
            put "vowel - ", b ..
            put ""
        elsif strintok (cha (i)) then
            c := c + cha (i)
            put "number - ", c ..
            put ""
        else
            d := d + cha (i)
            put "any other character - ", d ..
            put ""
        end if
    end for
end loop


This is my program, but it is different from the sample of the question. 

The example is, if I type "asdfert456u2~1?",
it will show

numbers - 45621
vowels - aeu
consonants - sdfrt
any other character - ~?

RE:I had a problem about string

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

Your program is going to output "consonants - " every time it finds a consonante. You only want it to print once, don't you? How do you think you would fix that? Same with all your other categories, to be honest.

yea, i just want to show consonante once, I tried to use " .. " to fix it, but it didn't work.

Do you know why it's printing more than once?

Cause it is in the loop, so it will repeat putting the consonante, but there's no way to move this  put  command away from the  if  part, that won't work.

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

Yes, that's why, and yes, there is a way. You'll need a few extra variables but your code really won't even change much.
