Escaping comma seperated values?

[Bluscre]

The docs for Input Lists state "A comma seperated list of values..." but does not say how one would escape a comma in such a value. I tried \, but the backslash was just printed on the screen.

Put quotes around it like:

one,two,"three,",four

Thanks, would be nice if this was stated in the docs ^^

I usually just put the element into a list first, the use listformat comma. The element inside will always be escaped properly.

Code: Select all

a = newList("hello", ",world", "good");
b = "{a,listformat,comma}";

just use {a,listformat,comma} in the input dialog list or any input field that require comma delimited element.
