Attached is a very simple custom node that fills a gap in NodeBox: concat_list
NodeBox has a way of turning a string into a list of substrings (the make_string node), but no way to do the reverse. You can concatenate up to seven individual substrings, but you can't concatenate an arbitrary list of substrings. This is something I need to do on a regular basis.
concat_list takes a list of strings with an optional delimiter (e.g. a comma or a space) and returns a single string. This custom node requires that concat_list.py be added to the code library of your network.
The example turns the first sentence of the Gettysburg Address into a list of words, sorts them, concatenates them, and displays them.
Frederick, if you are listening, this seems like it should be a built-in node.
Enjoy!
