Thanks.

I was wondering if I could use this function to effectively loop through a comma separated list of data entered by my users in a screen.

I wound up not needed to do exactly that. Instead, I'm using the comma separated values as a Selection List of IDs in order to Loop a table within in my action.

Hi Blake,

The "Seek next in selection list" action will get the next value of the selection list after the specified value. For instance, if you had a selection list of the alphabet, you could use this action to grab the next value after 'C'. Which would obviously be 'D'. You can find a bit more about it here.

What is the end goal here?

Anyone have an example of how the Character Function action 'Seek next in selection list' works and/or how it can be useful?

I'm wondering if this is action will help me loop over a comma separated list of values entered by my users on a screen?

Thx
