convert list to string

[paulalsmith1000]

Hi there (me again)

This really is straight forward, but its late and I'm stumped??!! so any help appreciated.

I have a list field where you can select more than one line (containing names),

if I put the selected text from the field into a variable and put it, I can see that each entry is on a separate line (understandably),

but I need these names as a string; name1, name2, name3, etc... because I need to use them in a POST request.

Could you tell me the best way to do this?

Kind regards

Paul

To turn this:

Code: Select all

Bob
Carol
Ted
Alice

...into this:

Code: Select all

Bob,Carol,Ted,Alice

...use:

Code: Select all

replace cr with comma in tList

Code: Select all

replace cr with comma in tList

Yep, this is not SPARTA, but Livecode!

You know Ted and Alice are not together any more, don't you? They split a few months ago, and he started seeing Caitlin recently. Alice got a new job and moved away, I think.

OK, OK, my posting was a bit off the track, but at least I mentioned Livecode!

Oops yes, this should have been in the gossip forum
Luckily I didn't mention Kaveh

Silly me, and here I thought 'Alice' was the code name we were using this week...
