Sting of values to list

Featured Replies

Hello All I have a string of data "abcd" i would like to present as a list:

A

b

c

d

An advice?

Could you provide a more real example? You could create it being either running a script to generate it or perhaps a recursive custom function, but more details would be nice prior to offering a suggestion.

Thanks for the reply John!

That is actually the real world example. I have a calculation that gathers related class codes in a list:

Ex List:

AB

DC

Or

A

BC

D

I then substitute the Line breaks so I get one string of values EX.ABDC

I then need to Count the number of letters, and value count is not working.

I can not follow your example. Your first post stated that you wanted to create a list that ( guessing here ) returns each letter on its own line.

In your last post, you state that you already have a list and that you then take that list and create a single line from the list with a substitute.

So then why create a new list then?

Surely if you just want to count the number of letters there are total in a list, you can just use Length ( TrimAll ( Substitute ( YourList; ¶; "" ); 1; 3 ) ) to get the total characters, no?

And sometime the answers slaps you in the face.... Length .... Man I am burnt out....

Thanks again!
