Re: make a list

Hi Sascha,
try this:

on returnsTokens(theString, theDelimiter)
return call method "componentsSeparatedByString:" of [NO-BREAK]
theString with parameter theDelimiter
end returnsTokens

Its pretty fast. You might want to have a look at the NSString and NSArray
Obj-C classes, which offer a lot of functions for operations on strings and
lists.
