Sorting a string

[cat8864]

I need to create a program that takes a string of user input and sorts according to vowel, consonant, number and other. I managed to get it to work partially. The vowels and consonants get sorted fine but anything else gets place with the consonants. Any attempt to modify it just results in one of many error messages that say the results are too long or something exceeds the boundaries.

Here's my program so far:

Turing:

var word : string const vowels := "aeiou" const consonants := "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz" const numbers := "1234567890" const other := "~`!@#$%^&*()_+-={}[]:;'?/><,." put "Enter a string" loop     get word     exit when word = "*"     var newword := ""     var newword2 := ""     var newword3 := ""     var newword4 := ""     var size := length (word)     for i : 1 .. size         if index (vowels, word (i)) = 0 then             newword := newword + word (i)         elsif index (consonants, word (i)) = 0 then             newword2 := newword2 + word (i)         elsif index (numbers, word (i)) = 0 then             newword3 := newword3 + word (i)         elsif index (other, word (i)) = 0 then             newword4 := newword4 + word (i)         end if     end for     put "consonants  ", newword     put "vowels      ", newword2     put "numbers     ", newword3     put "other       ", newword4     % var posv := index (word (i), vowels)     % var posc := index (word (i), consonants)     % var posn := index (word (i), numbers)     % var poso := index (word (i), other)     % word := word (1 .. posv - 1) + word (posc + size .. *)     % word := word (1 .. posc - 1) + word (posc + size .. *)     % word := word (1 .. posn - 1) + word (posn + size .. *)     % word := word (1 .. poso - 1) + word (poso + size .. *) end loop

Mod Edit: Instead of color tags for code, use syntax tags. Thanks

Simply changing the =0 to >0 should do it.

Thanks! But why '>' instead of '='? Is it because the length changes each time or something?

Because index returns the position of the character.

So because I had "= 0" it didn't read the rest of the if statement
