Here is an excerpt from the help doc defining a string list.
Stringlists are a series of strings stored inside one string. The elements are separated by a semicolon (";"). Each item must be followed by a semicolon, also the last one! The data type is "string", thus it is not an array as used in other scripting languages.
listAdd
You can either write the string list manually, import the data from somewhere else, write a python script to create the list, or compose it in CGA. In CGA, there are string list functions which may be helpful. For example, listAdd adds elements to a list. String concatenation using the + operator between two strings could also be used. Recursion may help to build the list.
Here's a simple example on how to make a string list containing n random numbers in the range [0,100].
myList(n) =
case n==0:
""
else:
rint(rand(0,100)) + ";" + myList(n-1)
To get a list of 10 random numbers, you would do the following:
myList(10)
