Summary

Function: list llCSV2List( string src );

Returns a list made from src as comma separated values.

• string src

Do not confuse this function with the "Wikipedia logo"CSV format, it is not the CSV format.

Specification

Anything between "<" and ">" is considered a single value regardless of the existence of a comma between. For every "<" there needs to be a corresponding ">". <lsl> llCSV2List("<>,>,a") == ["<>", ">", "a"]; //didn't match the last ">" llCSV2List("<<>,>,a") == ["<<>,>", "a"]; //matched everything llCSV2List("<<<>,>,a") == ["<<<>,>,a"]; //didn't match the last "<" </lsl>

Caveats

  • It eats leading and trailing spaces from values.
  • Anything between "<" and ">" is considered a single value, see Specification for further details.
    • This is done so that the function can handle vectors and rotations without extra parsing.
  • All items in the returned list are strings until typecast.
  • llCSV2List("") returns [""], not []
