text manipulation

im having a hard time figuring this out, because i never used this string functions before...

i want to loop thru this string and get every value in an array

4|5654|8948|44|

this i found out

tokencount(varload,"|") - 1 = number of seperators

find(varload, "|") = first part of the string before "|"

but now how do i get to the next value of the seperator?

ive seen some examples but i dont understand, can anybody explain how and how its works?

if i know how to loop thru all these i should also be able to put then in an array i guess

vtrix, is this what you're looking for?

find(varload, "|") = position of the first | in the string

basically you get each token ( = part between separators) by incrementing an iterator

the iterator can be a simple variable or a loopindex

global iterator = 0
every 5.0 seconds :
    set text to tokenat(varload,iterator,"|")
    add 1 to iterator[/code:32ezzhr4]

or

[code:32ezzhr4]for "itLoop" from 0 to tokencount(varload,"|")-1
    append to text : tokenat(varload,loopindex("itLoop"),"|")[/code:32ezzhr4]
