Summary
Function: string llDumpList2String( list src, string separator );| 245 | Function ID |
| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns a string that is the list src converted to a string with separator between the entries.
| • list | src | |||
| • string | separator |
Use llParseString2List or llParseStringKeepNulls to undo the process.
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.
Caveats
Examples
<lsl>list mylist = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]; string tmp = llDumpList2String(mylist, "**"); //tmp now equals: "a**b**c**d"</lsl>
<lsl>list mylist = [<10,5,7>, 100, "c", "d"]; string tmp = llDumpList2String(mylist, "**"); //tmp now equals: "<10,5,7>**100**c**d"</lsl>
<lsl>default{
state_entry(){
list my_list = [1, 2.0, "a string", llGetOwner()];
llOwnerSay("<" + llDumpList2String(my_list,"><") + ">");
//says: "<1><2.000000><a string><a822ff2b-ff02-461d-b45d-dcd10a2de0c2>"
}}</lsl>
Notes
Instead of using llDumpList2String(myList, "") you may wish to consider using the more efficient (string)myList as it produces an identical result with less memory usage due to eliminating a function-call.
