Change a string to a list

[Loki Eliot]

Im recieving a string   ["VC","ED"]    but need to turn it into a list    "VC","ED"  so i can check it via llListFindList

i assumed it would be simple , but i cant figure it out. 

i'm so tired ll

Delete the square brackets and then use llCSV2List.

Actually, I'm not sure whether you wanted to keep the quote marks in your final list or not.  Either way, you can do the cleaning and conversion with something like this:

default{    state_entry()    {        llListen(-12345,"","","");    }    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)    {        llSay(0, "I heard " + message);        integer len = llStringLength(message);        while (len)        {            --len;            if (~llListFindList(["[",]","\""],[llGetSubString(message,len,len)]))            {                message = llDeleteSubString(message,len,len);            }        }        llSay(0,"Here's the string with square brackets and quotes removed: " + message);        list New = llCSV2List(message);  // Here's your list        llSay(0,"And here's a dump of a list created from that string, with each list element on a separate line so you can see them: \n" + llDumpList2String(New,"\n"));    }}

If you really meant to keep the quotes in your final list, just remove the "\"" from that llListFindList line.
