hi folks,

i have a string of numbers which i want seperated so that every figure has its own place in an array. i tried it this way, but i couldn't get it working:

proc dothis()

{
print ("barcode" + "\n");
global string $barcode;

$barcode _= `textField -query -text barcode1`;

for ($i=1; $i<=(size($barcode)); $i++) {

$barpiece =`substring $barcode $i $i`;
global string $barc[];
string $barc[$i] = {$barpiece};

}

}

anyway the error i get is:

// Error: _string $barc[$i] = {$barpiece}; //
// Error: Syntax error //

use the tokenize command:

string $buffer[];
string $myNumbs = "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10";

tokenize $myNumbs " " $buffer;

for($numb in $buffer)
{
print("numb: -->" + $numb +"<--\n");
}
