is there a quick/easy way to parse a line of text?

say we have, in a text file,

1, Name1, 4, 2.9, 9
2, Name2, 9, 2.4, 9

how would you go about making a function like:

read string 1, current_string$
string_id$ = get_first_textblock(current_string$)
erase_first_textblock(current_string$)
string_name$ = get_first_textblock(current_string$)
erase_first_textblock(current_string$)
... etc

or is there a more simple way?

IanM´s matrix1Utils plugin has these functions:
Quote: "
SPLIT STRING Source String, Delimiter String
Word Count = SPLIT COUNT( )
Word String = GET SPLIT WORD$( Word Number )"


Just use "," as a delimiter.

Incase you don't have the plugins:

My space invaders 20 line entry had a fair bit of text manipulation using standard DB commands. Just look at the 20 liner compo for the code, you basically need to use the mid$ command. You can count through a string saving the letters to a another string and simply look for spaces to work out when each word is complete. Hope that helps.
