Here is an example I’m using: C_COLLECTION($aOrderByCols) $aOrderByCols:=Split string($orderBy;"%";sk ignore empty strings+sk trim spaces)
$orderBy is a text string with “%” separated terms, like “foo %bar%more %%data”. As a result of the statement above, $aOrderByCols will become: [“foo”,”bar”,”more”,”data”], as spaces and empty items are trimmed. That replaces a utility method í’ve had for decades. julio > On May 1, 2018, at 1:14 AM, Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > Miyako, > This occurred to me too.
