Help with decoding text object separated by separator

[Boss_1s]

…why am I posting this topic chat

anyways, I need help on searching for a guide that helps with decoding a text object with a certain format. My brain’s not braining, I cant think of the search terms. Help is 100000% appreciated. thx

@Boss_1s

Here I’ll just
So lets say I have some text
it looks like this:
|item1|item2|item3|item4|
the separator character is |
In theory, with the following python code you can “grab” item2 like it’s a list item:

def substring(txt, sep, sep_idx) -> int:
    sep_amt = 1
    i = 0
    while i+1<len(txt):
        char = txt[i]
        if char == sep:
            if sep_amt == sep_idx:
                return i
            else:
                sep_amt +=1
        i += 1
    

but I can’t find the block to grab like the second |, only the first one

also I hate it when people click in to add a view but do absolutely nothing

edit - maybe I should add that this is for this topic right here: NBT data in GKC? (Pseudo-Items)

What do you mean, “decoding a text object”?
If it seems easy enough to do, I can make it myself and show it to you.

So I have some text that is separated by a separator, and I need it to act like a list in text.
So index grabbing basically.

[How_Was_The_Fall]

you you want the text to be together?
Im not smart enough bro

[yaypie]

do you mean if a player interacts with a text, it changes a symbol/number/letter?

How long is each item in the list? Are they all equal # of characters, or do they vary?

[Boss_1s]

they vary

Property Lists 101

I think I’m due for another guide. Introduction What is a list? A list [1] in coding is like a shopping list, but it allows you to store or organize groups of data. While I was creating this guide, April Fool’s hit. Eating tiny slim is explicitly forbidden. [2] [image] Anyyyway There is a specific way to organize your list, and the reasons for this ultimately come down to what blocks are available in Gimkit Creative. This is an example of how your list will be set up. 01notyoyo01, 02kos…
