Specification
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
list mylist = ["a", "b", "c", "d"];
string tmp = llDumpList2String(mylist, " ** ");
//tmp now equals: "a**b**c**d"
list mylist = [<10,5,7>, 100, "c", "d"];
string tmp = llDumpList2String(mylist, "**");
//tmp now equals: "<10,5,7>**100**c**d"
<lsl>
default{
state_entry(){
list my_list = [1, 2.0, "a string", llGetOwner()];
llOwnerSay("<" + llDumpList2String(my_list,"><") + ">");
}
}</lsl>
Notes
Use llParseString2List or llParseStringKeepNulls to undo the process.
