[LON-CAPA-users] routine to separate submission into number and unit

[Raeburn, Stuart]

HK,

There is currently no specific routine available for you to call from default_homework.lcpm to separate a submission for a numericalresponse item into the number and unit as two variables. 

Instead LON-CAPA internally uses one of two regular expressions within the caparesponse_check_list() routine to separate a submission into a non-unit part and a unit part.  Which regex is used depends on whether the allowalgebra parameter is set to yes.  After separating the parts, each is passed to &capa_formula_fix() in caparesponse.pm, which applies the &implicit_multiplication() routine found in response.pm.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a built-in routine that separates a submission into the number and unit as two variables? Thanks
