List of strings

vvvv beta general

I would like to make a list of strings, select a string from this list by specifying an index and show the corresponding string in a new IOBox(String).
I tried everything from IOBox(String), Select(String),… but I can’t figure it out.

If someone could help, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

GetSlice (String)

Thanks, tonfilm.

But I can’t seem to use the IOBox(String) in such way, that I could make it as list. I can only put each string in the IOBox(String) by pressing enter after the last string - but if I do so, the GetSlice(String) does not work like it was supposed to. How can I make a list of strings like the one in the GetSlice(String) example?

use Inspektor CTRL+I to see that any IOBox has several possibilities for setting displaying or “spread-handling” options.
may be your io box contains a spread with several slices but only displays the first one.

have a close look at the helppatches of IOBox (String) and IOBox (Value Advanced) and get aware of manyfol configuration options…

and never ever work without inspektor.
he’s our best friend…
