Is there a way to remove the spaces out of say "go to <100, 20, 20>"?

so it returns goto<100,20,20>

Then a way to just return the vector <100,20,20>

There doesn't seem to be many string editing functions?

You can skip llDumpList2String if there is no replacement text, a cast will do.

This ought to work unless I made a typo or two..........

CODE

default
{
touch_start(integer num)
{
     string stuff = "Put your < stuff > here";
     integer leftBrack = llSubStringIndex(stuff,"< ");//Take out the extra space after the <
     integer rightBrack = llSubStringIndex(stuff,">");
     string newstuff = llGetSubString(stuff,leftBrack,rightBrack);
     string finalstuff = llDumpList2String(llParseString2List(newstuff,[" "],[""]),"");
     llSay(0, finalstuff);
}
}


ETA: Ooops.... forgot that you wanted to keep the brackets... I fixed it.

ETA (again): OK, so there WAS a typo. Fixed that too, and tested it in world. It works like a dream. :)

Or llike this:

CODE


string NoSpacesString( string Str )
{
	return llDumpList2String(llParseString2List(Str,[" "],[]),"");
}

default
{
	state_entry()
	{
		llSay(0, NoSpacesString("go to <100, 20, 20>"));
	}
}

Yup, but the OP wanted to remove the "go to" as well, which is why I had to put the SubString stuff in my post.

Should have read the whole question. :o

Actually Viktoria had the best sollution then.

CODE

string str = "go to <100, 20, 20>";
vector v = (vector)str;
Void Singer
Int vSelf = Sing(void);

vStrTest = "asdf asdf <1,2,3> asdf"
vStrTest = llGetSubString( vStrTest, 0, llSubStringIndex( vStrTest, ">" ) );
vStrTest = llGetSubString( vStrTest, llSubStringIndex( vStrTest, "<" ), -1 );

that'll either return the brackets and what's between them, or a single character if it's not found.
