Remove vowels from a string

From Rosetta Code
Remove vowels from a string is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

AppleScript

Functional

Removing three particular Anglo-Saxon vowels from a text.

AppleScript doesn't provide list comprehensions, and even use of regular expressions requires the study of a Foreign Function Interface to ObjC, which might be thought to defeat the goals of an entry-level scripting language.

We can at least use the universally available list monad (using a general concatMap as the bind operator here, and returning an empty list in place of any excluded glyph).

We can also improve productivity by using library functions whenever feasible.

------- REMOVE A DEFINED SUBSET OF GLYPHS FROM A TEXT ------

-- exceptGlyphs :: String -> String -> Bool
on exceptGlyphs(exclusions, s)
    script go
        on |λ|(c)
            if exclusions contains c then
                {}
            else
                {c}
            end if
        end |λ|
    end script
    
    concatMap(go, s)
end exceptGlyphs


-- Or, in terms of a general filter function:

-- exceptGlyphs2 :: String -> String -> Bool
on exceptGlyphs2(exclusions, s)
    script p
        on |λ|(c)
            exclusions does not contain c
        end |λ|
    end script
    
    filter(p, s)
end exceptGlyphs2

Idiomatic

As has been noted on the Discussion page, this is necessarily a parochial task which depends on the natural language involved being written with vowels and consonants and on what constitutes a vowel in its orthography. w and y are vowels in Welsh, but consonants in English, although y is often used as a vowel in English too, as it is in other languages. The code below demonstrates how AppleScript might remove the five English vowels and their diacritical forms from a Latinate text. AppleScript can be made to "ignore" diacriticals and case in string comparisons, but not to ignore ligatures or other variations which aren't strictly speaking diacriticals, such as ø. These would need to be included in the vowel list explicitly.

-- Bog-standard AppleScript global-search-and-replace handler.
-- searchText can be either a single string or a list of strings to be replaced with replacementText.
on replace(mainText, searchText, replacementText)
    set astid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to searchText
    set textItems to mainText's text items
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to replacementText
    set editedText to textItems as text
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to astid
    
    return editedText
end replace

-- Demo:

Fōrmulæ

Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.

Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website.

In this page you can see and run the program(s) related to this task and their results. You can also change either the programs or the parameters they are called with, for experimentation, but remember that these programs were created with the main purpose of showing a clear solution of the task, and they generally lack any kind of validation.

In this entry, we assume that the "vowels" of the particular texts of
interest can be specified as a JSON string of letters.  Furthermore,
we take advantage of gsub's support for the "ignore case" option, "i",
so that for vowels which have both upper and lower case forms, only
one form need be included in the string.  So for example, for
unaccented English text we could use the invocation:

jq -Rr 'gsub("[aeiou]+"; ""; "i")' input.txt

The string of vowels can also be specified as an argument to jq, e.g. assuming
a bash or bash-like scripting environment:

What is considered a vowel for this task?

  1. Only English AEIOUaeiou, not Yy?
  2. ISO-8859-1 vowels? (So, adding, "ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜàáâãäåæèéêëìíîïòóôõöùúûü".)
  3. Any Unicode plausible vowel, which could include: "ꭤ a ⱥ ⒜" (U+AB64 U+FF41 U+2C65 U+249C) and all sorts of other characters, perhaps even including combining characters like " ͣ" (U+0363)?

Only 1 and 2 have been considered. The lack of `output` after the `find` rules means that the vowels are suppressed and the rest of the input stream is output as-is.

Works with: Extended Pascal

More convenient though is to use some Extended Pascal (ISO 10206) features:

program removeVowelsFromString(input, output);
const
	vowels = ['A', 'E', 'I', 'O', 'U', 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'];
var
	i: integer;
	{ Extended Pascal: `… value ''` initializes both variables with `''`. }
	line, disemvoweledLine: string(80) value '';

begin
	readLn(line);
	
	for i := 1 to length(line) do
	begin
		if not (line[i] in vowels) then
		begin
			disemvoweledLine := disemvoweledLine + line[i]
		end
	end;
	
	writeLn(disemvoweledLine)
end.
Input:

Not going to bother with 'y', it's too touchy feely (How many vowels are in the word my? why? any?) and subject to interpretation.

Otherwise, this should work for most Latinate languages.

Apropos of nothing; reminds me of one of my favorite Between the Lions performances: Sloppy Pop - Sometimes Y

Spec is 'Remove vowels from a string'; nothing about what they should be replaced with. I chose to replace them with spaces.

Strings from http://mylanguages.org/. No affiliation, but it's a nice resource. (note: these are not all the same sentence but are all from the same paragraph. They frankly were picked based on their vowel load.)

REXX

These two REXX versions remove the Latin (Roman) vowels and all those accented and Greek vowels that are supported in the   437   code page.

using the TRANSLATE BIF

This REXX version uses the   translate   BIF which works faster for longer strings as there is no character-by-character manipulation.

/*REXX program removes vowels (both lowercase and uppercase and accented) from a string.*/
parse arg x                                      /*obtain optional argument from the CL.*/
if x='' | x=","  then x= 'REXX Programming Language'  /*Not specified?  Then use default*/
say ' input string: '    x
vowels= 'AEIOUaeiou' || "üéâäàåçêëèïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜáíóúªºαΩ"  /*Latin + accented + Greek*/
$= translate( xrange(), ., ' ')                  /*define a string of almost all chars. */
q= substr($, verify($, x), 1)                    /*find a character NOT in the X string.*/
y= translate(x, q, " ")                          /*trans. blanks in the string (for now)*/
y= space(translate(y, , vowels), 0)              /*trans. vowels──►blanks, elide blanks.*/
y= translate(y, , q)                             /*trans the Q characters back to blanks*/
say 'output string: '    y                       /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */
output   when using the default input:
 input string:  REXX Programming Language
output string:  RXX Prgrmmng Lngg

using character eliding

This REXX version uses a character-by-character manipulation and should be easier to understand.

/*REXX program removes vowels (both lowercase and uppercase and accented) from a string.*/
parse arg x                                      /*obtain optional argument from the CL.*/
if x='' | x=","  then x= 'REXX Programming Language'  /*Not specified?  Then use default*/
say ' input string: '    x
vowels= 'AEIOUaeiou' || "üéâäàåçêëèïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜáíóúªºαΩ"  /*Latin + accented + Greek*/
x= . || x                                        /*prefix string with a dummy character.*/

     do j=length(x)-1  by -1  for  length(x)-1   /*process the string from the back─end.*/
     _= pos( substr(x, j, 1), vowels)            /*is this particular character a vowel?*/
     if _==0  then iterate                       /*if zero  (not a vowel), then skip it.*/
     x= left(x, j - 1)  ||  substr(x, j + 1)     /*elide the vowel just detected from X.*/
     end   /*j*/

x= substr(x, 2)                                  /*elide the prefixed dummy character.  */
say 'output string: '    x                       /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */
output   is identical to the 1st REXX version.
