#57228 - 09/24/19 12:04 PM how to separate strings between delimiters
bbauser OL Newbie Registered: 09/24/19 Posts: 11	I have the following string '\|a:100 b:200 c:300\|a:200 b:200 c:300' I want to assign them to variables like so &string1:= 'a:100 b:200 c:300' &string2:= 'a:200 b:300 c:400' how would I do that without having to do it manually like I did above? I was thinking of using search() or pos(), but I noticed pos() only looks for the first instance and I'm not exactly sure how to do it with search(). Could someone please assist?
