I need help using the string parser object in my current project. I was told it can read a list of numbers by setting "," as delimeter and then extracting bits of text.
However, I can't figure out how to use it at all aside from setting the delimeter. Can someone help me out?

k.
You can set the source string - the string to get the bits of string out of. Then to get one, use 'Get Substring' under the List Tokenizing menu. Anything else?

Im still having no luck. I set the source string and delimeters at the start of the frame. Then upon pressing enter i told it to add the first element to a list. It was a simple test.
Still, nothing appeared on the list. I also forgt, I am using string parser 1... not 2.
Sorry if im dragging this out too much.

The problem is that at the start of the frame the source string will be null, or whatever is in the textbox at the start of the frame. You need to change it so when you press enter the source string is changed to the textbox's contents and then add the first element to a list.

Start of frame:
* Set string parser value to "12,23,34,45"
* Set delimiter ","
Button pressed:
* Add line to list with lget$( "String parser", 1 )
This sets it to 12. I'm not sure whqt you're doing wrong.

Whenever I type 'lget$...' into the expression editor I get a syntax error.

Add line str$( "String parser", 1 )
Ive never used the string parser object, but thats my guess.

Actually, that was my immediate reaction when the attempt failed. It didn't work either. Maybe I should post the program for someone to look at instead on continuing with this pointless discussion. Does anyone want to take a look at it?
