how to: converting string to list?

[Daniel]

Hi,

How can we convert a string output into a list?

Example:
-------------
${ALL_Reports} || Run || grep "<Report" ${Report_DIR}/*.report | awk -
F "id=" '{print $2}' | sed 's/">//' | sed 's/"//'
@{ALL_Reports} || convert to list || ${ALL_Reports}

Current output is:
-------------------------
~20:30:25.987 INFO ${ALL_Reports} = Report006
Report007
Report008
Report009
Report010
Report011
Report012
Report014
Report015
Report016
Report018
Report019
Report021
Report022
Report023
Report024
Report025
Report027
Report028
Report029
...
-
+
KEYWORD: @{ALL_Reports} = Collections.Convert To List ${ALL_Reports}
Documentation: Converts the given `item` to a list.
Start / End / Elapsed: 20100805 20:30:25.989 / 20100805
20:30:25.992 / 00:00:00.003
20:30:25.992 INFO @{ALL_Reports} = [ R | e | p | o | r | t | 0 | 0 |
6 |
| R | e | p | o | r | t | 0 | 0 | 7 |
| R | e | p | o | r | t | 0 | 0 | 8 |
| R | e | p | o | r | t | 0 | 0 | 9 |
| R | e | p | o | r | t | 0 | 1 | 0 |
...


We would like something like:
-------------------------------------------
@{ALL_Reports} = [ Report006 | Report007 | Report008 | .....


Thanks,
Daniel

The `Split String` keyword in the String library ought to work for you:
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/wiki/StringLibrary

The `Convert To List` keyword you used is meant for converting
non-list iterables to lists so that other Collections library keywords
can be used with them.

Hi,

I have a somewhat similar problem, with my string being ${pippo} = [ {....}, {...} ] 

The problem is  that my string is not made up of lines, but rather by json objects, comma separated, so I cannot use Split String. 

Even using comma (,) as a separator to Split String does not work, as the json objects contain several commas. 

I would like to be able to access each "element" using something like

${pippo}[0], ${pippo}[1] etc

I can quickly implement a python function and be done with it but I was wondering if there is any keyword already done in robot framework which would to the magic.

Cheers

Are you using any of the soap/webservice libraries along side what you are doing with this json object?

    sudslbrary - https://github.com/ombre42/robotframework-sudslibrary#readme
    HTTPLibrary (Requests) - https://github.com/bulkan/robotframework-requests/#readme

I know there are functions that help here in the requests library (example ${resp.json()) returns a dictionary of the json object in the http response). Also there is the xml library where there might be some tools (haven't looked at it in a while)

    XML - http://robotframework.org/robotframework/#standard-libraries
