Just looking for some advice on text file parsing. From experience, what's the most efficient way to parse a string like the following:

tx,183.16806,ty,199.03603,tz,164.23111,ox,0.00000,oy,0.00000,oz,-0.72368

Allo!
Just looking for some advice on text file parsing. From experience, what's the most efficient way to parse a string like the following:

Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks

Clarification.... I'd like to isolate the value that comes after each tag (i.e tx, ty etc.). I've tried converting the string (or list) into a collection using the [Ltocoll] object. Then I used the "nth" message to pull out values one by one. This works but it renders what I need to do more complicated. I'm looking for a strategy for taking a whole string/list and passing it through a process that will give me the tagged values (without the tags) every time I send the whole list through. I'm essentially looking for something like the [route] object that will match a tag and spit out the following value. Again, this is what my list looks like:

I've done a lot of this. Can you give me an idea what you want the output

to be. Do you want to send the numbers to a specific place? Store them in

I've done a lot of this.  Can you give me an idea what you want the output
to be.  Do you want to send the numbers to a specific place?  Store them in
a coll?

What you listed above is not a string, its a bunch of seperated 

messages, if you put it with the commas into a message box it will spit 

But if you want to iterate a message like

[tx 183.16806 ty 199.03603 tz 164.23111 ox 0.00000 oy,0.00000 oz -0.72368]

I have an abstraction called siter for it.

The patch below is basically the help file for siter on the left side, 

and on the right side an easy way of prepending with a symbol which is

What you listed above is not a string, its a bunch of seperated 
messages, if you put it with the commas into a message box it will spit 
out the values one after another.

But if you want to iterate a message like
[tx 183.16806 ty 199.03603 tz 164.23111 ox 0.00000 oy,0.00000 oz -0.72368]

The patch below is basically the help file for siter on the left side, 
and on the right side an easy way of prepending with a symbol which is 
streamed in numbers...
