IOS split()

Targets iOS

I have a string data =" this is a test"
the following line
dim tmp(-1) as text
tmp=split(data," ")

results in there is more than one item with this name and its not clear to which this refers, I have changed the name many times, there are no names to which it conflicts? any ideas?

This not the right syntax. See http://xojo.helpdocsonline.com/text$Split

data.Split(" ")

You must understand that iOS is using the new framework, that has a different syntax for a lot of commands. I strongly recommend you keep the link I posted above to iOS documentation for reference.

One way to keep the older syntax is to wrap the new framework into methods that mimic the old one.

I have shared a wrapper that I started for my own use, and just added split() to it so the code you posted can run.

See GitHub - Mitchboo/XojoiOSWrapper: Module that brings legacy and additional functions to Xojo iOS

Plus the desktop DOES support that syntax as well

dim v() as string
dim s as string="a,b,c"

v=s.split(",")

or 

v=split(s,",")

DIM tmp(-1) As String

Please correct me, but as far as I know there is no such thing “as text”? But maybe it’s not the question…?

This should have been posted in the iOS channel. In the new iOS framework, string no longer exist, and has been superseded byt the Text type.
