Split String with ':' from a Text Asset
Evening all,
This problem is giving me a toothache! I have the below script which works wonderfully (almost)
public class DialogueManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public List<string> textArray;
public bool display;
public TextMeshProUGUI dialogueText;
public int[] rowsToReadFrom;
public string fileName;
public TextAsset textAsset;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
textAsset = Resources.Load("TextFiles/" + fileName) as TextAsset;
dialogueText = GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();
textArray = textAsset.text.Split('\n').ToList();
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
}
public void InfoDisplay(int messageToDisplay)
{
textArray[messageToDisplay].Split(':');
dialogueText.text = textArray[messageToDisplay];
}
}
However my textAsset file has on line[0] a string of text that I want to display in 1 text field but split onto two lines so it will essentially read:
"Hi, my name is something"
"Press to make me shrink!"
The above text is on 1 line within my text file and I can't split over two otherwise it crates two entries in my list.
I have been going round in circles with string.Split in various formats but to no avail. Please help!!
Best Answer
public void InfoDisplay(int messageToDisplay)
{
textArray[messageToDisplay] = textArray[messageToDisplay].Replace(':', '\n');
dialogueText.text = textArray[messageToDisplay];
}
But I don't advise using : as separator unless you have the guarantee you won't use this character for anything but this.
