Separate> Suggestion (resolved)(RegEx solution)

Post by JRL » Fri Oct 09, 2009 3:57 pm

In a future version, Is there any way to make separate> split a string into its individual characters? Perhaps by using null as the separator:

Separate>String1%CRLF%String2,,var

Would evaluate to:
var_1=S
var_2=t
...
var_8=%CR%
var_9=%LF%
...
var_15=g
var_16=2
var_count=16

Thanks for listening,
Dick

Can already do it like this:

RegEx>.,String1%CRLF%String2,0,var,var_count,0

. = any character

Not convinced about doing it with Separate and Null, since Null means something else and there is no character between each character.
