I have a loop for an array, but what if the data isn't an array?

[Murica]

What's a better way to do this?

Code: Select all

; IF ARRAY
if (inStr(data,","))
   {data:=strsplit(data, ",")
   for i, var in data
      do_stuff(var)
   }
else ; IF STRING
   do_stuff(data)

No Need for the if statement and the else branch. Assuming you want to call the function with each piece separated by commas in the initial string (even if there is only one piece with no commas), just do this:

Code: Select all

data := StrSplit(data, ",")
for i, var in data
	do_stuff(var)

Alternatively, use a parsing loop:

Code: Select all

loop, Parse, data, CSV
	do_stuff(A_LoopField)
