def var cList as char no-undo.
assign cList = "one,two,three,four".
<Loop> cList
logic...
</Loop>
What's the best way to loop through a comma delimited list in a char variable so that in this example I would get one then two then three then four.
Lol I still remember a bit of Progress I think.
DEF VAR i AS INT NO-UNDO.
&SCOPED-DEFINE LIST "one,two,three,four"
DO i=1 TO NUM-ENTRIES({&LIST}):
MESSAGE SUBSTITUTE("LIST[&1] is &2", i, ENTRY(i, {&LIST})).
END.
DEFINE VARIABLE ch-list AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE i-cnt AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE i-entry AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
ASSIGN
ch-list = "one,two,three,four"
.
ASSIGN
i-cnt = NUM-ENTRIES(ch-list)
.
REPEAT i-entry = 1 TO i-cnt:
DISPLAY
ENTRY(i-entry, ch-list)
WITH DOWN.
END.
DEFINE VARIABLE iNumEntries AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE iLoop AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
def var cList as char no-undo.
assign cList = "one,two,three,four".
ASSIGN iNumEntries = NUM-ENTRIES(cList,",").
DO iLoop = 1 TO iNumEntries:
MESSAGE ENTRY(iLoop,cList,",") VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
/* You can use display, assign to variable, etc */
END.
