Summary

Function: string llList2CSV( list src );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a string of comma separated values taken in order from src.

• list src

More precisely the values are separated with a comma and a space (", ").

This function's functionality is equivalent to llDumpList2String(src, ", ");

The result of this function is more or less the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationCSV format, but it does not conform in all its details.

To reverse the process use llCSV2List. But see the Caveat.

Caveats

  • llCSV2List will not reverse the process if there are commas or oddly matched angle brackets (< and >) in any of the original strings. For details see the article llCSV2List.
    • One way around this is to first use llEscapeURL on any user-supplied strings before adding them to the list. llUnescapeURL will reverse llEscapeURL.
    • If your strings may contain commas but not unmatched angle brackets you can wrap your strings with angle brackets (< and >) like you would use double quotes around the string and then use llGetSubString with START at 1 and END at -2 to remove them.

Examples

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        list my_list = [FALSE, PI, "a string", ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, NULL_KEY];
        llOwnerSay(llList2CSV(my_list));        
    }
}
