Hi Eric,

Thanks a lot for this, gave me an insight on how to tackle strings.

All the Best
Dave


Hi Dave,

function ObjectsList pLongName
  replace space & "of" & space with comma in pLongName
  return pLongName
end ObjectsList

Then you get a comma delimited list of all objects:
From 'button "Button" of group "group" of card "card" of stack "Untitled 1"'
you get 'button "Button",group "group",card "card",stack "Untitled 1"'

As for extracting only the names from the above list, using
something like value(word 2 to -1 of item x of tList) will do the
trick :-)

Hope this helps.

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a function that will extract name of the
Control, Group, Card and Stack from a long name string?

e.g. I have a string of the form:

control "A" of group "B" of card "C" of stack "D"

And I would like to have:

local myControlName  = A
local myGroupName = B
local myCardName = C
local myStackName = D

Any tips of how to write some code to do this would be greatly
appreciated if there is not a standard function available.

I haven't used the string function in RunRev much and I'm having
difficulty in working out the best way to do this.

Thanks a lot
All the Best
Dave
