LlCSV2List

Returns a list made from src as comma separated values.

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

Anything between "<" and ">" is considered a single value regardless of the existence of a comma between. For every "<" there needs to be a corresponding ">".

 
llCSV2List("<>,>,a")   == ["<>", ">", "a"]; //didn't match the last ">"
llCSV2List("<<>,>,a")  == ["<<>,>", "a"];   //matched everything
llCSV2List("<<<>,>,a") == ["<<<>,>,a"];     //didn't match the last "<"
 

• 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 []
