How do I get the index of a token?

Hi!

I want to use this expression in reverse.

tokenat(src, index, separator)[/code:njljj61c]

My string is "text1,text2,text3".
Now I want to get the index of "text2". Is there a way to do this with an expression?
Or do I need to make a function on my own for this?`

Thank you!

Regards
Andy

You'll need to do this manually. One simple idea is to use a loop like:

Number index=-1

Repeat tokencount(text, ",") times

Tokenat(text, loopindex, ",") = "fish"

--- stop loop

--- set index to loopindex

Thank you R0J0hound

I'll try that!

My version is just a variant of what R0j0hound already proposed.

Simply

For "index_name" from 0 to tokencount("text1,text2,text3",",") - 1

--- (condition) tokenat("text1,text2,text3",loopindex("index_name"),",") = "text2"

--- (Action) Collect dictionary: Add key "Index_var" with value loopindex("index_name")

*replace dictionary, index_var, index_name and string as you wanted

Thank you for your example
