Stuck with splitting SMS !?

[silvo]

Hello,

I'm new here and new in programming over all. I'm trying to make an app that involves receiving SMS and gathering information for later usage. Let' say I receive SMS as:

123
456
789

I'd like to split SMS at line feeds and store it to a local list for later usage. Here are my blocks:

This is for testing purpose only. I'd expect to get something like 123 : 456 : 789 : but I get ["123","456",789"] : in my Textbox1

I don't quite understand how to split SMS to make each line a list item as this is not working as expected.
How to do it correctly? Any help appreciated.

Cheers

The split block just splits the text into a list.
Retrieving the correct index is our job

Hi Silvo

Normally after splitting you would display the items by loading them into either a ListView or List Picker. Also, \n is the correct assumption for the EOL if the message came from an Android phone, but if it originated from a Windows OS or Apple OS, the EOL is different.

Your split code is a little bit off:

If a list is needed, the blocks may look like this. No loop processing is necessary here.

I have already provided the same above

Thanks people,
I realized that my mistake was to use a block "add item to list" instead of "set 'Split_sms' to" block as shown in ChrisWard's and Patryk_F's solution. Now I can get going on my project... hopefully.
Again thank you for your kind assistance,
Silvo
