Category:LSL CSV

There are four caveats with LSL CSV.

1. Spaces are trimmed from the beginning and the end of entries.
2. Anything following a "<" is considered part of the same item as long as the number of ">" and "<" are unbalanced.
   • All "<" and ">" are included in the output string.
   • Having a ">" before a "<" has no effect on the output, having too many ">" is not an issue.
3. All Commas not encapsulated in "<" ">" will be treated as deliminators.
4. Anything datatype containing a float value when converted to a CSV may loose precision.

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

One Way To Embed CSV Lists in CSV Lists

string a = llList2CSV([
        "<"+llList2CSV(["a", "b", "c"])+">",
        "<"+llList2CSV(["d", "e", "f"])+">",
        "<"+llList2CSV(["g", "h", "i"])+">"
    ]);
