Sample use of SPLIT and JOIN custom plugins

[ComplexPoint]

Keyboard Maestro includes tokens which allow us to work with:

• CSV formatted arrays,

Obtaining individual items in the array by a 1-based index, and retrieving the length of the array from index 0.

See:

• CSV arrays: manual:Variables [Keyboard Maestro Wiki]
• JSON arrays: manual:JSON [Keyboard Maestro Wiki]

[SPLIT :: Custom plugin – Split a String to a KM Array](SPLIT :: Custom plugin – Split a String to a KM Array)

[JOIN :: Custom plugin – Join a KM Array with a delimite](JOIN :: Custom plugin – Join a KM Array with a delimiter)

Split can create CSV or JSON formatted KM arrays, using literal or regex delimiters,

and Join can create new strings by intercalating a supplied delimiter between the items of a KM Array.
