[SOLVED] Split string based on carriage return?

[Matt]

I want to have a script that reads a plaintext file that looks like

Code: Select all

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
etc.

and use Split() to make an array of the items, one item per line.

Is there a way to do this without actually putting a carriage return in my code? (And if I do, would it break switching between Windows and Unix?)


Kinda relatedly: Is there any way now, without cvar abuse, to reference one player's local file and then broadcast that set of data to the entire game so it doesn't desync even though each player's file is different?


EDIT: I just noticed this works fine (logs a single "a" with no whitespace):

Code: Select all

string hahahaha="a
b
c
";
array<string> aha;aha.clear();
hahahaha.split(aha,"\n");
A_Log(aha[0]);

You should split on line feed (\n) instead. Both Windows and Unix use it for line breaks, with Windows using "CRLF" (\r\n) and Unix using "LF" (\n). The only case where this would break would be if someone were using only carriage returns for line breaks, but that was only used by some ancient versions of Mac OS, so it's not like it really matters.

And no, I don't think there's any way to do that without using CVars or netevents.
