String to Array

[Dorian C. Chalom]

I have a sting "ABC,DEF,GHI"
I want a funtion to return to me an array with
ABC
DEF
GHI

Anything????

ALINES()

In VFP9, you could do ALINES(aItems,"ABC,DEF,GHI",1,",") would yield an
array named aItems with 3 elements being your parts you're interested in
each element.

If you're using a version of VFP before the flags and parse character
parameters were available, you could do this:

ALINES(aItems,CHRTRAN("ABC,DEF,GHI",",",CHR(13)))

Just a couple of things in addition to Fred & Jan's
helpful replies:

Firstly, I'm glad that you haven't figured out
the most appropriate NGs to post your questions.

Secondly, have you ever thought about thanking
the many people who have helped you out?
Presumably not, because you never have.

This is a FoxPro community forum and the people
who answer posts do so in their own spare
time. OTOH, you squeal like a spoilt brat when you
don't get the answer you want, yet remain silent
when you (presumably) do.

Is the word "manners" not in your lexicon?

Roger;

I am so sorry for upsetting you. I truely do appreciate the support that i
do get from this group. When it is a big indepth question/problem I do have
I do thank the person who helps me. When it is a quick "it slips my mind"
question I may forget to thank the person, I am truely sorry.

From now on I will try to post my question in the correct UG and I will
thank all with my greatest gratitude.

I am so sorry for upsetting you.
