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.

its bc ppl just dont have ideas for it dude, they dont see the whole topic through the title..

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.

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

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

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