String splitting

[Flo]

Hi there

I'm getting mad trying to do something (which would be very very easy in Java or PHP) in FileMaker.

Here is the thing :

I have a list of modules I get from a checkbox. This looks like this :

AA

BG

BR

SR1

SR2

...

And I would like to store each module in a tab (a variable with repetition in fact).

If all module were written with 2 letters, that would be easier... but it's not the case ;o)

Set Variable [$mod_list; Value:Global::G_Export_Module_List]

Set Variable [$mod_list_tab; Value:""]

Set Variable [$repet; Value:1]

Loop

 //It's here I need your help ;-)

End Loop

Thank you in advance for your help !

Check the custom function "split" which might be helpful : http://www.briandunning.com/cf/45

I think you're looking for something like this.

Set Variable [$mod_list; Value:Global::G_Export_Module_List]

Set Variable [$mod_list_tab; Value:""]

Set Variable [$repet; Value:1]

Set Variable [$mod_Count; Value: ValueCount($mod_list)]

Loop

//It's here where I'm attempting to help ;-)

Set Variable [$mod_list_tab[$repet]; Value:GetValue($mod_list; $repet)]

Set Variable [$repet; Value:$repet + 1]

Exit Loop If [$repet > $mod_Count]

End Loop
