string llList2CSV(list ListVariable)

Creates a string of comma separated values from the list.

Create a string of comma separated values from the specified list.

Parameters

ListVariable(list)

Technical Details

Return Type: string
Energy: 10

This function’s functionality is equivalent to llDumpList2String(src, ", "). The result is more or less CSV format, but it does not conform in all its details.

Examples

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        list my_list = [FALSE, PI, "a string", ZERO_VECTOR, ZERO_ROTATION, NULL_KEY];
        llOwnerSay(llList2CSV(my_list));
    }
}

Caveats

llCSV2List will not reverse the process if there are commas or oddly matched angle brackets (< and >) in any of the original strings. For details see the article on llCSV2List.
One way around this is to first use llEscapeURL on any user-supplied strings before adding them to the list. llUnescapeURL will reverse llEscapeURL.
If your strings may contain commas but not unmatched angle brackets, you can wrap your strings with angle brackets (< and >) like you would use double quotes around the string and then use llGetSubString with START at 1 and END at -2 to remove them.

Notes

Values are separated with a comma and a space (“, “).
To reverse the process, use llCSV2List (see Caveats section).
