How to split variable in zest loop

[namespace pollution]

I am using a loop to read a file in zest for some fuzzing. Each line in my file is a : delimited string like "u:p". I can't find a way to assign u to one variable and p to another within my loop. All I can do is pull out the whole line. Is there a way to do this that I have just missed and if not would it be the sort of thing I could request as an enhancement on the github?

I've just worked out a solution to this.

Its not really pretty, but it works :)

I used the following statements:

• Loop File, with the variable name "line"
  • Assign variable to string, "key" = "{{line}}"
  • Assign replace in variable, "key" replace ":.*" with "" regex=true
  • Assign variable to string, "value" = "{{line}}"
  • Assign replace in variable, "value" replace ".*:" with "" regex=true

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Simon
