Title: converting string to many variables
Post by: Filto on August 06, 2012, 04:09:50 AM

I need to convert a long string message into different variables and events. How do I go about parsing this in playmaker?

Hi,

 It's going to be quite tricky, and would require custom actions. Do you have such a degree of possibilities that you  have to reference variable by string? how many of them do you expect accessing? same with events.

Hi jean!

I found your arraymaker which had functions for parsing text into an array which worked nicely for me. Thanks so much for those actions!
Maybe I expressed myself badly. What I really wanted to do was split up a long list of different functions devided by a delimiter. So thanks for that. We have a coder here at work who have started looking into this. She created a custom action for searching for part of text in an array which works nicely so I'm sure it will be solved now that she is onboard :)

If people are interested I can post custom actions later. Searching for part of string was quite handy for instance

Hi,

 Do not hesitate to share, even if no one is asking for it. It's always welcome, and a very positive attitude :)
