String.Split problem
As far as I understand it, the String.Split method will break up a string based on a specified separator and enter these sub-strings as elements of an array.
For the sake of understanding this (and eventually using it) I've assembled a simple version of this to see how it works, but when I try to run it I get an "IndexOutofRangeException: Array index is out of range". I assume this means that it runs out of array index points to enter the sub-strings into, but I don't understand how that could happen, because I'm using a dynamic and not built-in array.
Here's my code:
var highestPriority = "1,2,3";
var priorityCache = highestPriority.Split("," [3]);
I've also tried doing this and explicitly declaring the variable types outside of the function, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Solution:
var highestPriority = "1,2,3";
var priorityCache = highestPriority.Split(","[0]);
for(i = 0; i < priorityCache.Length; i++){
print(priorityCache[i]);
}
yeah, this solves it. Somewhere I read that the parameter after the separator was a count of the total substrings, and not specifying the first character to start from
It's not another parameter - it's grabbing the first character from the string. It's a dodgy hack to get around js not being able to declare char literals
Where is this documented in Unity? I can't find anything about it, and I know it's not standard Javascript.
