variableToList()

The variableToList() command converts an element into a list that contains only that element and stores the resulting list in a target variable. This command is useful to ensure that a single value is handled as a list in subsequent processing.

Parameters

• element Type: variable Description: The variable that contains the element to be converted into a list. It can be any type of value that you want to include as the only item in the list.
• TargetVariable Type: variable Description: The variable in which the resulting list will be stored. It must be a variable that will receive the list with the included element.

Command Flow

Usage Example

Suppose the element in myElement is "apple" and you want to convert it into a list.

// Variable definitions
myElement = "apple"
myList = []

// Call the command to convert the element into a list
variableToList(myElement, myList)

// Return the resulting list through addResult
addResult(myList)

Since myElement is "apple" , the variableToList() command will convert this element into a list with a single item: ["apple"] . This list will be stored in the variable myList , and myList will be returned through addResult(myList) , resulting in the following output:

["apple"]
