Escaping comma seperated values?

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.

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.
