Summary

Function: string llDumpList2String( list src, string separator );

Returns a string that is the list src converted to a string with separator between the entries.

• list src
• string separator

Use llParseString2List or llParseStringKeepNulls to undo the process.

Unlike llList2CSV , which dumps a list to a comma-separated formatted string with no choice over the separator, llDumpList2String gives you more control. This can be useful if you don't trust commas as a separator because you might be working with data supplied to the script by a user who uses, say, commas as part of a street address.

Examples

<lsl>list mylist = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]; string tmp = llDumpList2String(mylist, " ** "); //tmp now equals: "a**b**c**d"</lsl>

<lsl>list mylist = [<10,5,7>, 100, "c", "d"]; string tmp = llDumpList2String(mylist, "**"); //tmp now equals: "<10,5,7>**100**c**d"</lsl>

<lsl>default{ 

   state_entry(){
       list my_list = [1, 2.0, "a string", llGetOwner()];
       llOwnerSay("<" + llDumpList2String(my_list,"><") + ">");        
   }
}</lsl>
