How do you split strings into arrays with rows and columns?

What you mean into rows and columns? string.Split is probably what you want.

 

That would depend on what the contents of the string are. There's a lot of different ways you can represent a grid in a string.

 

i want to be able to call apon 1 csv that has 4 columns and 100+ rows and then take out a certain column from a row

 

What was wrong with the last thread?
Someone even posted some example script.

It's string.split...

 

arrays are difficult... ffs it keeps giving me errors and i have no idea how to structure it..

my current attempt..

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System;
4. public class test : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.     IEnumerator Start () {
7.         string url = "http://www.decadesband.com/uploads/2/8/0/0/2800976/song_data.csv";
8.         WWW www = new WWW (url);
9.         yield return www;
10.         String [7,2] basic = www.text.Split(new Char [] {',','\n'});
11.         Debug.Log(basic[5,2]);
12.     }
13.    
14.     void Update () {
15.    
16.     }
17. }

this also doesn't work

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System;
4. public class test : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.     IEnumerator Start () {
7.         string url = "http://www.decadesband.com/uploads/2/8/0/0/2800976/song_data.csv";
8.         WWW www = new WWW (url);
9.         yield return www;
10.        
11.     }
12.     public String [7,2] basic = www.text.Split(new Char [] {',','\n'});
13.     Debug.Log(basic[5,2]);
14.     void Update () {
15.    
16.     }
17. }
18.  

 

You havent said what the errors are, they are usually intuitive (enough)
Also, with split, pretty sure you can just do string.Split(',' , '\n') without needing to say its an array
Thisll only give a single dimension array
then count x number, y number of times, and feed that into a new 2d array
