split

What is the equivalent of strsplit or Array(... , ... , ...) ?

I have created a type named playback, and a an object of that type called play.
How do I assign values to play from a string st ?
play = ???(st)

The equivalent of Array is Arrays As <type>.
For example:

Dim Str() As String
Str = Array As String("abc", "def")

My question refered to a type, which has various elements types inside.
I need the strsplit method to split a coma separated string to variables which will populate a type.

do I need to get the data by another string array as strings, and then convert it to the varous type items ?

I did thet but the Array command expects that the items are written like this "first","second",... not like this first,second,...
If there is no other way, i'll have to replace each coma with "," .

This is not possible. In Basic4ppc types are arrays. In Basic4android types can have any structure required. So you can't convert an array to a type directly.
You can however have fields that are arrays.

I got arround with an ugly solution - using substring to get the parameters.
NowI run a while loop to read each line and perform a sequence of subs, but the program does not refresh the display, it just runs the while loop and does not show anything.
Is there something like doevents to make it hold for the display ? (although there is no event involved)

DoEvents in Common in Core.xml

Method

Processes waiting messages in the messages queue.
DoEvents can be called inside lengthy loops to allow the program to process waiting events.

Returns : void
