string ranges

[DanlB]

How can I split a string range into a list or an array

say

1002..1004,1009,1100..1102

to a list like

1002, 1003, 1004, 1009, 1100, 1101 ,1102

or an array

Can you guarantee that the input is well formed (all integers, comma delimited singles, ".." delimited ranges (not "." or "..."), no weird other characters, all one single line, all ranges going from smaller to bigger, etc.

In that case, seems easy. What have you tried so far?

Here's one simple possibility (LV2015):

And to allow ranges in both directions, here's how you would modify the default case.

I was hoping for a nice clean function.

I made a parser that works but it is definitely not clean

a couple of your parsing ideas simplified my version

thanks
