It’s pretty easy to do this kind of thing with some utility handlers. I have a collection of them to enable me to process text in various ways, including: getItem(pContainer, pIndex, pDelim) getNestedItem() getColumns(pData, pColNbrs, pDelim) deleteColumns(pData, pColNbrs, pDelim) getGridCell() replaceItem pList, pItemNbr, pNewItem, pDelim etc. This allows text processing (which I do a lot of) completely within LC and turns script-it-anew-each-time chunks of code into one-liner calls. Most of these are available in the Master Library, I believe. Or email me if you’re interested. — Peter Peter M.
