1089 - How do I convert a comma-delimited string to a linear list?

by - Joe Ganci


I have searched the archives and have not found what I believe should be possible. I have the following:

StateList := "DE,IN,IA,NY,NC"

I would like to convert the StateList variable to a sorted List. I have found that I could convert the StateList variable to a return-delimited string, set up a repeat loop, set the contents of the list, then sort the list. However, I was hoping there might be an easier way.

Looks horrible, but I just tried this and it works:

StateList := "DE,IN,IA,NY,NC"
states := List("[\""^Replace(",","\",\"",StateList)^"\"]")
