Hi guys ,

i was trying to get the the data from a csv (text) tab , something like this ;

1995 1996 1997
1010 1020 100
1234 1212 200

so what i need is to get a diferent spreads of every column in the example i should get 3 spreads of 3 slices each .

i have no idea how to do that ,

1010 1020 100

I assume you can split the string to 1 9-slice spread yourself.

Trick is to use Vector (3D split) to get your collums!!

I attached how I did it, not sure about the Tabs (isn’t a preset off the seperate node). Also attached a Vector Split patch you can adjust to any size you need. Good luck.

Dear West,

Separate (String) doesn’t offer TAB as an intersperse.

but you can cheat it with Substitute (String)
