citer()

citer(<string>, <pattern>[, <output separator>])

citer() is iter() for the characters of a string instead of the words of a list. It evaluates <pattern> once for each character of <string>, spaces included, with ”##” standing for the character and ”#@” for its position, counting from 1. The results are separated by <output separator>, or by a space if it is not given or is empty.

Examples:

> think citer(boo!, ##-#@)
b-1 o-2 o-3 !-4
> think citer(a b, <##>)
<a> < > <b>
> think citer(bob, ## WHEE ##, @)
b WHEE b@o WHEE o@b WHEE b

citer() comes from RhostMUSH and takes the same arguments.
