Usage examples of the Splitlist command
Written by: webDOMinator 1 year and 5 months ago
This command is quite powerful to create new lists on the fly in script. It has a couple options that you will also find in the user interface for "split" in the list manager.
For the following examples, imagine that I have a list called "blogURLs". Wherever you see "blogURLs", just imagine that you are using your own list name.
Example 1. Splitting a list into 2
Code
//will output 2 lists. blogURLs1 and blogURLs2

Usage: list:handle[:optionsfile;gatherfile]
Description: Creates a new virtual list. Virtual lists do not have limits and are accessed through their handles. When webDOM gathers, it can be set to gather any usable virtual list.:handle[;rangelow-rangehigh]:numlists[:rename]
Description: Splits the list specified by handle to a new set of lists. Lists will open in the list manager. The main required arguments are the handle and the numlists which specifies the number of lists to split into. If only a range of items in the list need to be used in the split, rangelow and rangehigh can be used (seperated by a "-") to specify the limits of what items will be used for the split (i.e: 101-200 would pull just entries 101 through 200 for the split). The rename argument can be set to specify a new name for the lists. Lists will be named "name01, name02, etc.":blogURLs:2
Code
//will output 10 lists, blogURLs01, etc.
