Accessing lists? Am I blind or not...

Ive hit a stumbling block. Im still new to lsl but picking it up quickly when I put my head to it.... But was wondering if you could throw me a bone.....

Ive been working on a project for some one and so far so good though I came to a point where I needed to use a list!

So... Ive read the wiki... Ive understood it (I think) and built a list.... Populated it with vari's in one object.... done a list2csv then transfered it to another object through llsay and transfered it back to a list..... All fine.... wonderfulll....

How do I use the list? I want to pull the vari's out so I can use one of them for verification that its gotten to the right destination! :/

Thanks

Use llList2String, llList2Integer etc - they aren't named too well, but you give them the list and the index, and they return the item at that position.

You mean how to you get a value out of the list?

llList2String,llList2Float, llList2Integer, llList2Key, llList2List, llList2ListStrided, llList2Rot, llList2Vector and llGetListEntryType.

There's a couple of different ways depending on what you're going to do:

There are different functions depending on the variable type. For example, given this list:

string element;

list MyList = ["element 1", "element 2", "element 3"];

element = llList2String (MyList, 0); //return 1st element in list

or:

element = llList2String (MyList,1); //return 2nd element in list... etc

depending on the variable type, there's the appropriate list to variable type function

llList2String()
llList2Integer()
llList2Rot()
llList2List()
llList2Key()
llList2Float()
llList2Vector()

You can also search a list for a specific element...

default {
state_entry() {
list src = ["The", "Quick", "Brown", "Fox", "Jumped", "Over", "The", "Lazy", "Dog"];
list test;

test = ["Brown"]; // What we want to find.
integer foxColorIndex = llListFindList(src, test); // Returns 2.

test = ["Jumped", "Over"];
integer whatFoxDidIndex = llListFindList(src, test); // Returns 4.

test = ["Quick", "Fox"];
integer thereIsNoFox = llListFindList(src, test); // Returns -1.
}
}

hope that helps...

Ah! That last post is very close.... Ive figured out WHAT I need to do just not how! I didnt word my first post well...

I need to parse what happens before the first comma on a list then I can use it in an if statement to verify that the that the message is actually for that person

so its list is [avi_key, vender_key, sim_vender_is_in, etc] I want to pull out the avi key only

Then after I have that in a vari I can throw it through an if statement for verification... Sorry Im suffering from a cold and a lack of sleep so Im not very coherent...

Friend just told me to use

avikey = llList2Key(prodlist, 0);

So Ill give that ago! Thanks all
