Summary
Function: string llList2String( list src, integer index );188 | Function ID |
0.0 | Forced Delay |
10.0 | Energy |
Returns a string that is at index in src.
• list | src | – | List containing the element of interest. | |
• integer | index | – | Index of the element of interest. |
index supports negative indexes.
If index describes a location not in src then null string is returned.
If the type of the element at index in src is not a string it is typecast to a string.
Specification
Index | Positive | Negative |
---|---|---|
First | 0
|
-length
|
Last | length - 1
|
-1
|
Indexes
- Positive indexes count from the beginning, the first item being indexed as
0
, the last as(length - 1)
.
- Negative indexes count from the far end, the first item being indexed as
-length
, the last as-1
.
Caveats
- If index is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.
- When using this function to typecast a list element to a string it will truncated float based types to 6 decimal places.
Examples
<lsl>//This code demonstrates the differences in typecasting in LSL (and demonstrates how to use the llList2* functions). // Best viewed in Chat History (ctrl-h) default {
state_entry() { list my_list = ["a", "0xFF", "0xFF.FF", "1.0e3", 1, 2.0, <1,2,3>, <1,2,3,4>, llGetOwner()]; integer i = 0; integer end = llGetListLength(my_list); for (; i<end; ++i) { llOwnerSay("string=" + llList2String(my_list,i) + "\n integer=" + (string)llList2Integer(my_list,i) + " OR " +(string)((integer)llList2String(my_list,i)) + "\n float=" + (string)llList2Float(my_list,i) + " OR " +(string)((float)llList2String(my_list,i)) + "\n vector=" + (string)llList2Vector(my_list,i) + " OR " +(string)((vector)llList2String(my_list,i)) + "\n rot=" + (string)llList2Rot(my_list,i) + " OR " +(string)((rotation)llList2String(my_list,i)) + "\n key=" + (string)llList2Key(my_list,i) + " OR " +(string)((key)llList2String(my_list,i)) ); } }}</lsl>
Notes
To convert a string of hexadecimal notation to integer, call llList2Integer and it will automatically cast the value as decimal integer.
To convert that integer back to a string of hexadecimal notation, call hex.
