Hey. I want to make a new list. First of all, the decimals from the “String from object” node, i want them gone. I tried so split string, but that dosent work. Second, i want to combine two lists by index. With the lists of names i left bottom corner. Third, i want a text between the number and the name. The result should be something like “1 _stk. af_ Badekar” from both list index 0. ![Udklip](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/4/a4394278229b7d441097066fbea58b70f03d3ca2.png) Nichlas ---

I would probably just do like so… without using the “string from object” node… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/c/dccef716ecad024aebe2b54823ada74f7b1d35e9.png) If you’re outputting doubles however it would look like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/d/dd68f92ea940c057cfba49ae1f28c59b72b883d7.png) And if you want it can be further simplified: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/e/cefd23b66f501a81db68b3900e7fb7345353bc98.png) ---

The reason your string split isn’t working is that the separater0 input is supposed to be what character you want to separate by, in this case the “,”. See below: ![dec](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/6/060ba049ae92680e85ae90ffb715e5abb8f2ab40.png) ---

There was something I was curious with String.Remove. It’s help text says that count by default will remove everything after the index but the node will not function unless a number is put in. ![removeString](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/a/7ad8bdae82420846cb8b41db1b2d389913286eca.png) ![removeStringscript](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/2/720341d7b4898a95ffe85d6497a57aee5dcbbb36.png) ---

It does work when put into codeblock… quite curious 😛 Can you answer if this is a bug @jacob.small? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/f/2/f2c1048309dfc3c3a9dd9a8a7520c4fcfcc1c822.png) ---

@Jonathan.Olesen - Definitely buggy as the design script method clears the rest of the characters while the node version doesn’t. Feel free to make a GitHub bug report. If I don’t see one before I finish my current task (sometime Sunday evening) I’ll pick it up. Good catch. 😃 ---
