Description | Use the itemDelimiter property to divide text into chunks based on a delimiting character|character(s). From LiveCode 7.0, itemDelimiter can be a string of one or several characters. Chunk expressions use the itemDelimiter to determine where one item ends and the next begins. Since the itemDelimiter is a local property, its value is reset to comma when the current handler finishes executing. It retains its value only for the current handler, and setting it in one handler does not affect its value in other handlers it calls. | ||||||
