jrr316 Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Hello All I have a string of data "abcd" i would like to present as a list: A b c d An advice?
mr_vodka Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 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.
jrr316 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 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.
mr_vodka Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 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?
jrr316 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Posted August 20, 2009 And sometime the answers slaps you in the face.... Length .... Man I am burnt out.... Thanks again!
