Hi there,

I'm importing text from the web via getnettext to a field, the text comes
already formatted as property lists (or so I thought) it comes like this:

[#property:"avalue", #property:5, #property:"anothervalue"]
[#property:"avalue", #property:5, #property:"anothervalue"]
[#property:"avalue", #property:5, #property:"anothervalue"]

etc...

if I place the content of the field on a list

on startmovie

gData = []

gData = member("dataBin").text

end

the value of gData is a string

if I do value(gData)

gData = "[#property" (only the first bit within quotes)

if I turn gData to a list with textToList() with the itemdelimiter as RETURN
I get a linear list of strings

gData= ["[#property:"avalue", #property:5, #property:"anothervalue"]"
"[#property:"avalue", #property:5, #property:"anothervalue"]"
"[#property:"avalue", #property:5, #property:"anothervalue"]"]



and if I try con convert those to lists with value() it happens as before..

I've tried with searchAndReplace() also but I don't seem to get it to work.


is there an easy way around it??


thank you.

Gonzalo.
