A Special Note When Using llParseString2List
I learned a new attribute of the llParseString2List function today (the hard way):
When you use multiple separators, the order that the separators are listed in is important. If you want to parse a list of values like:
Squeebee Wakawaka, You User, My Friend
And also accomodate:
Squeebee Wakawaka,You User,My Friend
You need to add both “,” and “, ” as separators. The catch is that If you list “,” first and “, ” second then the elements will have a leading space in the list, ruining checks further in the code. By reversing the order the system first strips “, ” from the string, cleaning out leading spaces.
Of course, this still gets tripped up with multiple spaces after the comma, but we need to balance simplicity with handling edge cases.
