Delimit variable & spaces

verona · Post by **verona** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 2:20 pm

I'm having a slight problem with Delimit Variable. I have a string that looks something like -word1 word2 "word3 word4 "What I'd like to do is capture the information in the quotes- including any trailing white space. The problem is, when I use Delimit Variable and choose Other and " as the delimiter, it throws away any spaces after word4. (Space is not also selected as a delimiter)Anyone know a workaround to this?

Nevermind. I wrote my own delimiting script in Basic and it seems to be working correctly

There is "Delimit Variable" action for this purpose.
See the example below.
