How do you split strings into arrays with rows and columns?

What you mean into rows and columns? string.Split is probably what you want.

3

That would depend on what the contents of the string are. There’s a lot of different ways you can represent a grid in a string.

i want to be able to call apon 1 csv that has 4 columns and 100+ rows and then take out a certain column from a row

What was wrong with the last thread?
Someone even posted some example script.

It’s string.split…

6

arrays are difficult… ffs it keeps giving me errors and i have no idea how to structure it…

my current attempt…

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System;
public class test : MonoBehaviour {
	
	IEnumerator Start () {
		string url = "http://www.decadesband.com/uploads/2/8/0/0/2800976/song_data.csv";
		WWW www = new WWW (url);
		yield return www;
		String [7,2] basic = www.text.Split(new Char [] {',','\n'});
		Debug.Log(basic[5,2]);
	}
	
	void Update () {
	
	}
}

this also doesn’t work

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System;
public class test : MonoBehaviour {
	
	IEnumerator Start () {
		string url = "http://www.decadesband.com/uploads/2/8/0/0/2800976/song_data.csv";
		WWW www = new WWW (url);
		yield return www;
		
	}
	public String [7,2] basic = www.text.Split(new Char [] {',','\n'});
	Debug.Log(basic[5,2]);
	void Update () {
	
	}
}

You havent said what the errors are, they are usually intuitive (enough)
Also, with split, pretty sure you can just do string.Split(‘,’ , ‘\n’) without needing to say its an array
Thisll only give a single dimension array
then count x number, y number of times, and feed that into a new 2d array
