string lookup. Can be one of "case," "space," "lspace," "rspace," "lrspace," 
"punctuation." "case" means to ignore the case of the characters, "space" 
means to ignore all white space (spaces, tabs, ...), "lspace" means 
to ignore white space on the left side of the string, 
"rspace" means to ignore white space on the right side of 
the string, "lrspace" means to ignore white space on both the 
left and right sides (but not internal white space), and "punctuation" 
means to ignore all punctuation characters (anything other than alphabetic and 
numeric characters and white space).  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   ignore #!EF can be a 
list of strings; for example, a commonly used combination is �"space," 
"case," "punctuation"�. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Lookup uses one component 
to find another by "looking up" the corresponding value in a 
lookup table. Lookup serves to convert a categorized component back to 
its original form, or more generally to provide arbitrary associations of 
unrelated object types. The lookup can occur entirely within the input 
field when it contains all components necessary to do the lookup, 
or alternatively the lookup table can be provided as a separate 
field in  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   table #!EF . #!N #!N If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   table 
#!EF is an array, Lookup treats it as if it has 
an implicit "positions" component with values from 0 to n-1, where 
n is the number of items in the array. Thus if 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF component is integer, and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   lookup #!EF 
is an array of strings,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF can be used 
to lookup a matching value in the implicit positions component and 
return the string. Alternatively, if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF were also a 
string array, Lookup could lookup a matching value in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
table #!EF array and return the corresponding implicit position. #!N #!N 
Note: The lookup is done using a binary search of the 
lookup component. If this component is not already sorted, it will 
be internally sorted in order to perform the lookup. Connections are 
not used by this module. Since Data Explorer does not support 
string positions, if lookup is done using a string data type 
the table input must have a separate float positions component. If 
the lookup component has duplicate values, the value corresponding to the 
first one found will be used. #!N #!N Components #!N #!N 
Adds a new component as specified by the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   destination #!EF 
parameter containing the looked-up values. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!CForestGreen
