Hello everyone! Im working on a project that relies heavily on llParseString2List. I have a problem with it that I explain here.
Im wondering what kind of workarounds people have used to get around that problem.

I had a replace function in another thread, I guess it got deleted.

Anyways write a replace function and replace double instances of your seperator with two seperators with a space between em.

It would be a lot more efficient if you could build the extra spaces into whatever is generating these strings but thats not always possible.

I posted a wrapper function around llParseString2List to fix this also, Ama. In the same thread as yours, I think.

They got deleted when the old script forum went under the knife.

**Edit: Yes, I'm still bitter about that. And I probably will be for another... 18 months or so, since that's how much knowledge was lost in that fiasco.
