View source for $list from text

list from text is a [[Variable Functions|Variable Function]]. 

This function returns a list of items by separating the text into separate items based on a delimiter. Unlike the list from file function which needs a file to populate a list, this function allows you to type in your list items and designate a delimiter that sets each list item apart.

== Example ==

<pre>add list to list(%my list, $list from text("list item 1, list item 2,list item 3, list item 4,list item 5,list item 6", ","), "Delete", "Global")
</pre>

The delimiter is the comma. The list from text function will treat each word separated by a comma as a list item. 

Running the command and checking the debugger shows that each word has been designated as it's own list item.

The [[$random list item| random list item]] and the [[$next list item|next list item]] function can then be used to fill fields with the list items.
