Convert String to Assoc

Vadim_Tchebotarev_(ebuild01user1_-_(deleted))

Hello,I have a quick question:How to convert a sequence of strings to an Assoc?For example:String s = " 'name'='Ala', 'name2'='O''Hara', 'zz'='ula,bula' "Assoc a = ConvertToAssoc(s)How to create such a ConvertToAssoc() function?Thanks for any hints,L

You might try something like this, assuming your pair-value delimeters are ", ":function Assoc ConvertToAssoc( \ String stringValues = " 'name'='Ala', 'name2'='O''Hara', 'zz'='ula,bula' " ) Assoc assocValues String stringElement List pairElement List stringElements String delim = Str.Ascii( 1 ) String quote = "'" String quote2 = "''" String sep = ", " String equal = '=' stringElements = Str.Elements( Str.ReplaceAll( stringValues, sep, delim ), delim ) for stringElement in stringElements pairElement = Str.Elements( Str.Trim( stringElement ), equal ) assocValues.( Str.Strip( Str.Trim( pairElement[ 1 ] ), quote ) ) = \ Str.ReplaceAll( \ Str.Strip( \ Str.ReplaceAll( Str.Trim( pairElement[ 2 ] ), quote2, delim ), \ quote ), \ delim, quote ) end return assocValues end

Thanks Alex,But what about the case when we have ", " as a part of the string? For example:String s = " 'name'='Wania, Kluska', 'ooo'='i' "In this case the ", " inside 'Wania, Kluska' will be treated as a separator. I need a more generic solution.Actually I was thinking about a kind of "Assoc Parser". I would provide a string:s = "A<?,1,'name'='Ala','name2'='O''Hara','zz'='ula,bula'>"and the parser would create an Assoc from it. In other words it would evaluate the string as an Assoc.Any suggestions?L

Message from David Caughell via eLinkIf you are creating a string version of the Assoc, then this should workfor you:Assoc a = Str.StringToValue(s) David.> -----Original Message-----> From: eLink Discussion: Development Discussion > [mailto:development@elinkkc.opentext.com] > Sent: September 30, 2005 11:44 AM> To: eLink Recipient> Subject: I need a more generic solution> > I need a more generic solution> Posted by Tchebotarev, Vadim on 09/30/2005 11:40 AM> > Thanks Alex,> > But what about the case when we have ", " as a part of the > string?

Message from Alex Kowalenko via eLinkDavid's suggestion is apropos if you have control over the stringformatting. Examine the syntax of a string-encoded assoc, create your stringin that model and just use the built-in Str.StringToValue function.-alex------Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Development Discussion[mailto:development@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 12:04 PMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: RE I need a more generic solutionRE I need a more generic solutionPosted by Caughell, David on 09/30/2005 12:04 PMMessage from David Caughell via eLinkIf you are creating a string version of the Assoc, then this should workfor you:Assoc a = Str.StringToValue(s) David.> -----Original Message-----> From: eLink Discussion: Development Discussion > [mailto:development@elinkkc.opentext.com] > Sent: September 30, 2005 11:44 AM> To: eLink Recipient> Subject: I need a more generic solution> > I need a more generic solution> Posted by Tchebotarev, Vadim on 09/30/2005 11:40 AM> > Thanks Alex,> > But what about the case when we have ", " as a part of the > string?
