Here: //Based on the sample data you've given I'm making the assumption that you'll get all the names you're after in a single query. This code will parse up to 10 names and those names would be overwritten with the next query.
#DEFINE_CONSTANT maxnames 10
#DEFINE_CONSTANT maxlength 40
Digital_Input Get_Names;
Buffer_Input RxData$[1000];
String_Output Actor$[maxnames][maxlength]; //Define an output array of 10 outputs, each up to 40 bytes in length
Integer i; //Define a global integer as the index
Push Get_Names
{
i = 1; //reset index to 1 when new request for name is sent.
}
Change RxData$
{
Integer semaphore; //Define a semaphore to prevent re-entrancy
String sTemp[100], sDump[50];
While(semaphore = 0)
{
Semaphore = 1;
sTemp = Gather("/>", RxData$); //this will remove each line from the buffer to be parsed individually
IF(FIND("person job=\x22Actor\x22 name=\x22",sTemp))
{
IF(i >= 1 && < maxnames){i = i + 1}; //increment index value if between 2 and 9
//parse as usual:
sDump = remove("person job=\x22Actor\x22 name=\x22", sTemp);
Actor1[i]=left(sTemp, find("/>", sTemp)-3); //assign the parsed string to the output specified by the index [i]
Semaphore = 0;
}
}
}
You'll have to pardon any syntax errors as my iPad email app is not the best S+ text editor environment.
Hope that makes sense for you. This could also be done using a for loop but I thought you might understand this method more easily. You could also parse the name with a single mid statement and have no need to define sDump and save some memory but thats really irrelevant.
Ex. Actor$[i] = mid(sTemp, find("name=",sTemp) + 7,Len(sTemp) - ((find("/>", sTemp)-3) - (find("name=",sTemp))); //I'm almost sure to have missed a parenthesis but you get the idea.

Can you possibly give me an example of how to do this.
I have tried so many ways all without success.
Thanks

You're overwriting Actor1$ each time you parse a name. You need an integer variable to track how many names you've already parsed and use that as the index of the string output array you want to assign it to.

Sorry posted this in wrong place...
maybe im missing something here.
in s+
<person job="Actor" name="Brandon Lee" />
<person job="Actor" name="Rochelle Davis" />
<person job="Actor" name="Jon Thompson" />
im doing this:
IF(FIND("person job=\x22Actor\x22 name=\x22",sTemp))
{
sDump = remove("person job=\x22Actor\x22 name=\x22", sTemp);
Actor1$=left(sTemp, find("/>", sTemp)-3);
}
My output is always Jon Thompson. How can i get it to pull out 1 at a time and
assign to
Actor1$
Actor2$
etc.
Thanks
