"Faking" a split

jetdv wrote on 3/28/2003, 3:26 PM

Since the scripting language doesn't have a split command, SonicPJM indicated it ought to be possible to "fake" it by adding a new event, adjusting it's length property, adding a "take" and then adjusting the start position.

Any chance of getting this added to the FAQ?

Never mind... Figured it out.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the forthcoming 4.0b update will have a Split command added that does all the hard work for you.

Well, that would only eliminate 22 lines of code (my "split" segment has 23 lines of code - a single split command would definitely be much easier). However, writing this segment was a great learning experience as to how the pieces interrelate so it was still worth it. Will there be a new version of the API released with 4.0b?

Split is in 4.0b and yes we'll release a new version of the API doc (which now includes an alphabetical class index).

You guys are the best. I know I was one of the people who asked for this. Thanks for listening.
