hi guys!

How do I go about splitting a string into an array in MPL?

For instance I have a string:

Banana:Cream:Pie

How do I split this into an array that I can use the individual array items?

Thanks!

Use The WORD functions ;)

Function WordCount(S: String; C:Char):Integer;
Returns the number of words in a string using the final parameter to define
the character that determines what separates words.

Function WordGet(P:Byte; S:String; C:Char):String;
Returns the actual word at a specific word count.

Function WordPos((P:Byte; S:String; C:Char):Integer;
WordPos returns the character position in the string where s specific word is located.

The WordCount() and WordGet() functions should help you.

no_of_words=WordCount(':',TestString)

for loop := 1 To no_of_words do begin
some_array[loop]:=WordGet(loop,TestString,':')
end
