How do you separate a string into words from text box?

[Music_369]

Hello all,

I am creating an app in which you have to enter a word or a sentence and it gives you the number each of the letters represents and the total amount. So far I can have the full output of the written sentence in the textbox, but I want first to have each of the words separated and then the full text, as seen in the pink picture- this is what I want to achieve.

In yellow - my current output: it just shows ¨HOLA MAMA¨ , and want it to divide the words HOLA and MAMA.

I am attaching my current blocks with which I can show the full text without showing each of the words separately.

You can separate text at a blank using the text block SPLIT AT SPACES.

The resulting list will have HOLA in item 1,
MAMA in item 2.

Show us your procedure if you need more help.

I can separate the words with split-at spaces, but I'm unsure how to bring each item separately.

The text is coming from the user input in a text box. Which blocks for ¨list¨ should I use?

Even if the user is inserting a text with 10 different words, how can I do it to bring each one of the words separately and then altogether?

Use "select list item" after split the text,

And join block to put together them.

[Music_369]

thank you.

Is there any way I can do this automatically? for example, if the user inserts a sentence of 15 words, how can I code it to automatically divide each of the words and then put them together in one sentence at the end?

So far I can separate the words
using index, so for index 2, if I only have one word in textbox, it gives me an error that there is no index 2, ad so on .. .

Foe each item in list block can help you to use all the items generated after split the text.

You can also check the length of the generated list.

A different approach....

(the text scrolls...)

Not quite sure why you want to show the sentence again ? (Or do you want to show the sentence as numbers and not letters?)

[Music_369]

This seems good, will give it a try, thank you.

I need the full sentence again as it will have different sums in numbers.

@Music_369

I need the full sentence again as it will have different sums in numbers

Can you show a simple example of this ?

[Music_369]

it should be some output like this.
First word, second word, and so on .... then the full sentence

[TIMAI2]

Yes, I have done that part.

Do you want the full sentence in letters AND in numbers, with SUMA and LUPA values ?

[Music_369]

Yes, exactly, the full sentence in letters AND in numbers, with SUMA and LUPA values. That would be good. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for this, it is what I was looking for. Very much appreciated.

Just another last question, Do you know how can I add the amount of 30 for each of the letters and therefore the final suma and lupa to be 30+ in another different label, using the blocks given by you and still having the output from your blocks ?

In this case, for example, A would be 31, B - 32 and so on ...

[TIMAI2]

This should do it:

This is great, thank you so much for the help. Already achieved what I needed.
