Description
Strip a literal quoted-reply prefix and return depth.
Communication measurements need an explicit event origin, clock correction, count unit and exposure denominator. Timing and coverage records can be summarized without detecting actual speech, verifying message delivery or determining readability, accessibility or communication quality.
Strip a literal quoted-reply prefix and return depth.
When to use this tool
Use Quoted Reply Depth Count when checking the stated communication timing, rate, representation or coverage convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter line, marker, allowSpaces. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read depth, content. Use the output convention below.
Strip a literal quoted-reply prefix and return depth. Require marker to be one UTF-16 code unit other than ASCII space; count leading marker occurrences while optionally skipping ASCII spaces, then return remaining content.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| line | Line | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| marker | One UTF-16 code unit other than ASCII space; astral symbols are not admitted as a single marker. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| allowSpaces | Allow Spaces | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| depth | Depth | Required. Safe integer. |
| content | Content | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"line": "> > hello",
"marker": ">",
"allowSpaces": true
},
"output": {
"depth": 2,
"content": "hello"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Only the supplied prefix convention is recognized; tabs, escaping, email grammar and attribution are not parsed.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use actual synchronized media/message records, appropriate text measurement and user evaluation for complete communication or accessibility assessment.
