llParseStringKeepNulls

Summary

Function: list llParseStringKeepNulls( string src, list separators, list spacers );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a list that is src broken into a list, discarding separators, keeping spacers, keeping any null values generated.

• string	src	–	source string
• list	separators	–	separators to be discarded
• list	spacers	–	spacers to be kept

separators and spacers must be lists of strings, maximum of 8 each.

Caveats

• Every element in the list will be a string, no matter what you think it should be. Cast the results of llList2String to get what you want.
  • integer my_int = (integer)llList2String(my_list,i);
    • llList2String is used here, as llList2Integer can only handle integers in simple notation, ie. will not handle hexadecimal integers or scientific notation.

Examples

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        // This will say:
        // <A><crazy><fox><.><Saw><the><moon><.><.>
        string my_string = "A crazy fox.  Saw the moon..";
        list my_list = llParseString2List(my_string,[" "],["."]);
        llOwnerSay("<" + llDumpList2String(my_list,"><") + ">");
        
        // This will say:
        //  <A><crazy><fox><.><><><Saw><the><moon><.><><.><>
        my_list = llParseStringKeepNulls(my_string,[" "],["."]);
        llOwnerSay("<" + llDumpList2String(my_list,"><") + ">");
    }
}
