Separate(String) - question

vvvv beta general
1

Hi all, I’m referring to the help-patch of Separate(String) in vvvv_beta13.1.

How can I split the data of each column of a CSV-file into separate streams?
One column should output a individual list of strings (or values after converting), vertically.
The IOBox(String) in the help-patch outputs all data (horizontally & vertically).

What I want to do is using a CSV-file (as a playlist) which contains information like id, filename, startzeit, transition (yes or no). The idea is to play images/movies based on that information.

I’m sorry for this basic question but having a complete blackout in my head I can’t manage to do that.

Best regards,
Alessandro

can you provide a sample csv file?

Thanks for helping, David.
I attached a file with 4 columns (id, imagename, starttime, transition on/off) and 5 rows. I guess the format of starttime is not final yet - but this shouldn’t bother for the moment.

What I need is to put each column’s data into separate ioboxes(advanced value). If there’s an easier way to handle that I’m willing to adapt my concept of course.

Alessandro

Thank you very much! (I’m glad for me I was trying with Stallone(String))

Your (plural) dedication and this great vvvvorum is one of the aspects why vvvv rules over Max/MSP and PD.
