How to split a string in Inno Setup
I've been looking for the same thing today...
This one works just fine on Inno Setup Scripts. Paste this excerpt inside your script before the procedure/function which will call this "split" procedure.
You can also modify this onto a function, if you desire...
procedure Explode(var Dest: TArrayOfString; Text: String; Separator: String);
var
i, p: Integer;
begin
i := 0;
repeat
SetArrayLength(Dest, i+1);
p := Pos(Separator,Text);
if p > 0 then begin
Dest[i] := Copy(Text, 1, p-1);
Text := Copy(Text, p + Length(Separator), Length(Text));
i := i + 1;
end else begin
Dest[i] := Text;
Text := '';
end;
until Length(Text)=0;
end;
procedure Whatever();
var
str: String;
strArray: TArrayOfString;
i: Integer;
begin
Explode(strArray,str,'.');
for i:=0 to GetArrayLength(strArray)-1 do begin
{ do something }
end;
end;
Taken from here
For anyone who prefers the function format, I have modified @cezarlamann's answer:
function StrSplit(Text: String; Separator: String): TArrayOfString;
var
i, p: Integer;
Dest: TArrayOfString;
begin
i := 0;
repeat
SetArrayLength(Dest, i+1);
p := Pos(Separator,Text);
if p > 0 then begin
Dest[i] := Copy(Text, 1, p-1);
Text := Copy(Text, p + Length(Separator), Length(Text));
i := i + 1;
end else begin
Dest[i] := Text;
Text := '';
end;
until Length(Text)=0;
Result := Dest
end;
