Orion Pax	How would I iterate through this info to have each value stored into a variable of a type.... [2,0,-12529.8,11090.9,-4885.1,1,0,0,"IRTF",0,???,???,???,???,0,0,0,0] --v I am stumped on this. With varying different types of information there its quite difficult. I was gonna do ascii values and something else but it was proving too complex for me to do.

Jayenkai	Split Text Function (Grab the SplitText function from the bottom.) First, you can cut off the two sides.. they're just brackets Next, flick through using SplitText$, and pluck out all the bits. Then just do with each as you need to.. Graphics 320,600,32,2 in$="[2,0,-12529.8,11090.9,-4885.1,1,0,0,"+Chr$(34)+"IRTF"+Chr$(34)+",0,???,???,???,???,0,0,0,0]" ; cut off the 2 ends. in$=Right$(in$,Len(in$)-1) in$=Left$(in$,Len(in$)-1) Print in$ splitAt=1 Repeat split$=splittext$(in$,",",SplitAt) If split$<>"-+-" ; If not -+- (where -+- indicates we're at the end..) ; If not wrapped in "'s and has a decimal, treat as a float. If Left$(split$,1)<>Chr$(34) And Right$(split$,1)<>Chr$(34) And Instr(split$,".")>0 MyFloat#=split$ Print "Number : "+MyFloat EndIf ; If not wrapped in "'s and doesn't have a decimal, treat as a int. If Left$(split$,1)<>Chr$(34) And Right$(split$,1)<>Chr$(34) And Instr(split$,".")=0 MyInt=split$ Print "Number : "+MyInt EndIf ; Otherwise treat as string If Left$(split$,1)=Chr$(34) And Right$(split$,1)=Chr$(34) MyString$=split$ MyString$=Right$(MyString$,Len(MyString$)-1) If Len(MyString$)>1 :MyString$=Left$(MyString$,Len(MyString$)-1):Else:MyString$="":EndIf Print "Text "+MyString$ EndIf EndIf splitAt=splitAt+1 Until split$="-+-" ; that -+- is returned when there's nothing else.. if you need to change it, it's at the bottom of the SplitText function. Flip WaitKey Function SplitText$(in$,Split$,e,alsospace=1) out$="" in$=Trim(in$) e=e-1 start=1 nomore=0 For shift=1 To e If Instr(in$,Split$,start)+1<=nstart Then nomore=1 If Instr(in$,Split$,start)+1>nstart Then nstart=Instr(in$,Split$,start)+1 If AlsoSpace=1 Then If Instr(in$," ",start)+1<nstart And Instr(in$," ",start)>0 Then nstart=Instr(in$," ",start)+1 start=nstart Next size=(Instr(in$,Split$,start))-start If AlsoSpace=1 Then If (Instr(in$," ",start))-start<size And Instr(in$," ",start)>0 Then size=(Instr(in$," ",start))-start out$=Mid$(in$,start,size) If nomore=1 Then out$="-+-" Return out$ End Function --v Note : It doesn't work for those ???'s, so if you really need them to work... Well, I'll let you do that part -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Orion Pax	Well I dont NEED the ??? as its variables that havent been given a value yet. So if it replaces them with zeros then thats fine too. I can also change the value later. Thanks. i saw that in the code archives but wasnt sure if it would do what I needed from the description. Thanks. I was pulling my hair out on this. I couldnt even get a function finished much less try it out. I would get so far and be like ARGHHH....all that math made my head hurt.
