Scratch

Okay so I am making a programming language in Scratch. I need to know how i could split a string. For instance, if someone wanted to print text they could write:

Code:

SAY "Hello"

If possible, I would like it to just print Hello to the Output list. Is this possible?

Yes, it just requires a lot of repeats, if elses, joins, letter (), and length ofs. When I gave it a try, I used a symbol (e.g. /s) to signify that the command was a say command. I would post an example, but I'm a bit busy search my hard drive for some sprites I've lost.

OKay, so like:

Code:

/s 'hello'

You don't even really have to put the speech marks, unless you add compatibility with variables, and stuff.

Would you like to help work on it?

I can help. You can post on that project with anything you need.

Okay. Lemme upload a new version that I can add a few things and then we can talk.

You can copy anything you want

Okay. 
*starts the long copying process*

I wish scratch had a better way. 

Same

Ever heard of export? You can copy what parts you want into a sprite, export it and import it into your own project.

OH lol. I've never used it for the code before.

Nice work Jd1.    Though, I've noticed that in the Experimental viewer, it doesn't loop like in the player.

Why thank you.

And the experimental viewer must be a bug...

It is afterall, experimental.

Well yes...



@Everyone
I am working on a new way of doing this. I don't think it will be faster but it should be better at detecting and able to use spaces.
EDIT:
Done see my latest project. It doesn't work in flash player (v23) as <0= > (0=nothing).

Splitting strings for a programming language gets annoying after a while. I usually have a script load all the characters into a list, then loop through the list until it finds the character to split at, then load both or all strings into variables or a list.

Why again?
You can use a command entrance char (i use <) and a command exit char (>) and use the arguments in a list like:
<say> hello; 2
would say hello for 2 secs.
