Displaying comma-separated strings in a table format
The below code combines two lists as one list and sorts the list.
1. Joins mulitple fields into one comma-separated string.
2. Combines two lists into a map, then a list.
3. Sorts the list.
4. returns the list.
How do I now convert the comma-separated string to a list?
public with sharing class ProductCostSalesSheet { public ProductCostSalesSheet() { o = [select id from Opportunity where id =: System.currentpageReference().getParameters().get('oppid')]; system.debug('*********************000000000:'+ o); oppi = o.id; system.debug('*********************000000001:'+ oppi); } id oppi; Public final Opportunity o; List<String> prodOption = new List<String>(); Map<String, String> joinMap = new Map<String, String>(); public ProductCostSalesSheet(ApexPages.StandardController controller) { } public List<string> getOppProductOptions(){ prodOption = new List<String>(); for(OpportunityLineItem oli: [select id, Product2.name, unitprice, discount, totalprice, quantity from OpportunityLineItem where OpportunityId =: oppi]){ joinMap.put(oli.id, oli.id+','+oli.product2.name+','+oli.quantity+','+oli.discount+','+oli.unitprice); } for(Proposal_Option__c p : [select id, Opportunity_Product__c, Description__c,sequence__c,sales_price__c,discount__c,unit_price__c,quantity__c from Proposal_Option__c where Opportunity__c =: oppi]){ joinMap.put(p.Opportunity_Product__c+p.id, p.Opportunity_Product__c+p.sequence__c+','+p.Description__c+','+p.quantity__c+','+p.discount__c+','+p.unit_price__c); system.debug('*********************000000003:'+ joinMap); } prodOption = joinMap.values(); prodOption.sort(); return prodOption; } }The code does the following:
1. Joins mulitple fields into one comma-separated string.
2. Combines two lists into a map, then a list.
3. Sorts the list.
4. returns the list.
How do I now convert the comma-separated string to a list?
You can convert comma separated string into a list by using split method .
Check blow code in console it will give you list .
Let me know if it helps .
Thanks

Thank you for the string suggestion. In my code I have a the following values in my list
string record 1 = value 1a, value1b, value 1c
string record 2 = value 2a, value2b, value 2c
Both strings are right now in a list. How do I separate each string, use the string.split command on each string, and keep the lists separate?
Thank you,

You can try the code snnipet below and try to implement .
Let me know if it helps .
I recieved the following error: productcostsalessheet ProductCostSalesSheet
[Error] Error: ProductCostSalesSheet Compile Error: Method does not exist or incorrect signature: [List<String>].split(String) at line 40 column 34
Although I understand the list cannot the be separated, I don't know how to change the list to a string and keep all records that are in the list. The code you provided works for one or two strings, but not for a list of strings.
Your eeor is saying that you are spliting to a list not a string . Split method is there in string class not in list class .
if it is already a list what you wnat to split to create a list ?
Hi Manoj,
I havea list of strings, but I need to divide each string into a substring to represent the fields in each record. The end state is to display a list of records in a table 7-columns wide. Each string in the list is comma-separated for each field/column.
Some background to this need:
I am pulling data from two objects, opportunitylineitem and a custom object. The custom object is a child object of the opportunitylineitem, but salesforce does not allow the opportunitylineitem object to be a master object in a master-chile relationship. Through apex code I have inserted the opportunitylineitem id in a text field on the proposal option object. In my initial post, As the field labels are not exactly the same, I have combined all 7 fields into one string to represent a record or line item. I have combined the string values into one list.
Now that I have combined the strings into one list, I need to find some way to create sublists for each string in the list.
Does this explanation give you a better handle as to what I am trying to do?
Thank you,
ckellie
