Hello there! I have a question: how to create fast split function?

Okay, firstly - my split function:


Is there a way to somehow improve this function, make it more compact?
The point is that the function splits the string into list items, and that there is a certain character which separates them

(i know that i can use “run without screen reflesh”, im already use it, but i search more compact function)

Hi, only a bit, but yes

That cuts out the first half of the text

Depends, do you want it more compact height wise, or total block count?

Yep. i tested it, but there was a space as first letter

EDIT: Just put this in a custom block set to ‘run without screen refresh’.
Yes, there is a way to do this you need four variables:

(Current)
(i)
(ValuetoSplit)
(SplitSymbol)

And one list:

(Output :: list)


when green flag clicked
set [i v] to [1]
repeat until < (i) > (length of (ValuetoSplit))>
set [Current v] to []
repeat until <<(letter (i) of (ValuetoSplit)) = (SplitSymbol)> or <(i) > (length of (ValuetoSplit))>

set [Current v] to (join (Current) (letter (i) of (ValuetoSplit))
change [i v] by [1]
end
add (Current) to [Output v]
change [i v] by [1]
end

This script will go through the “ValuetoSplit” And seperate it into parts which it will then add to the “Output” list. Hope this works!
Happy Scratching!

I want it to be smaller in height, I think it would be prettier

I think my code is better, because zero#k will be equal to the length of the text, and not 1 more. For me it is much more correct!

Thank you, but I think the code has not become more compact, but rather - it has more variables (now there are 2 instead of 1), and it is even higher in height. But thanks for the way!

This is more compact (height wise), but it does have it's own problems once you try doing different lengths of strings

I fixed this error

define split (text) by (symbol)
set [# v] to (length of (text))

Thank you all for your help, I close the topic (in a few hours, maybe someone will offer something else)!
I realized that this is the most optimal code.
