I have a script which outputs 2 lines of text into a hidden chat channel, and I need another prim to take those 2 lines of text and turn each line into a separate string for later usage..

just to be sure what I mean, this is the text im outputing

"City Of Dweller NE" + "\n" + "<40,99,32>"

I am thankfull for any help

A code snippet would be great!

A couple ways I can see you going about this.

First, if it's necessary to send the output all as a single string, you can parse it into a list and assign them to variables that way, like so:

Code:

integer CHANNEL = -123; // listening on this channel
list myList;
string myRegion;
string myCoordinates;

default{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(CHANNEL, "", llDetectedKey(0), "");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        myList = llParseString2List(message, ["\n"], [""]);
        myRegion = llList2String(myList, 0);
        myCoordinates = llList2String(myList, 1);
    }
}

If you wanted to avoid the small bit of overhead setting up a list can create, and can break the values into separate chat lines in the other script, then you'd only need test on (let's say here) '<' as your first character to verify what string to assign to which variable:

Code:

integer CHANNEL = -123; // listening on this channel
string myRegion;
string myCoordinates;

default{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(CHANNEL, "", llDetectedKey(0), "");
    }

    listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
    {
        if( llGetSubString(message,0,0) == "<" )
            myCoordinates = message;
        else
            myRegion = message;
    }
}

Edit: Wanted to note I'm not all that sure what trade off there is between using a list with a single chat output, or sending out two chat lines and avoiding the list. Quite possibly it's a glass half full issue between the two, and you're better off going with the one you prefer.
