ParseString2List

Function: list ParseString2List(string src, list separators, list spacers, integer ParseStringKeepNulls);

Returns a list that is src broken into a list, discarding separators, keeping spacers.

if ParseStringKeepNulls == FALSE

Same as llParseString2List, but not limited to 8 spacers or separators.

Thus substitute a call to the llParseString2List function by a call to ParseString2List whenever you have more than 8 separators or more than 8 spacers.

if ParseStringKeepNulls != FALSE

Same as llParseStringKeepNulls, but not limited to 8 spacers or separators.

Thus substitute a call to the llParseStringKeepNulls function by a call to ParseString2List whenever you have more than 8 separators or more than 8 spacers.

<lsl>list ParseString2List(string src, list separators, list spacers, integer ParseStringKeepNulls) {//works just like llParseString2List and llParseStringKeepNulls

//Instead of each list being limited to 8 items, it is now 1024.
//The max length of src is 2,097,151 bytes.
