%str%

dim len as n = a5_array_from_string(array_name, items, local_variables())

? len
= 4

? myArray
= [1] = "North"
[2] = "South"
[3] = "East"
[4] = "West"

Example: Creating an Array as a Member of a Dot Variable

dim array_name as c = "numArr"
dim items as c =<<%str%
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

? pObj.numArr
= [1] = "1"
[2] = "2"
[3] = "3"
[4] = "4"
