Looping Over a List

Hi,

I have a comma delimited list, how do I loop over it. It's being passed into a function

ie

x = functionName('one,two,three,four,five');

I see there is a List data type and also thought of doing this by converting it to an array.

There are classes to read the whole csv file.

I copy pasted from a class i have. The above should work, but this is just for a tip.

var csvfile:LoadVars;
var linesep:String;
var lines:Array;
var linelen:Number;
var line:String;
var record:Array;
var recsep:String;
var recval:Number;
//
csvfile = new LoadVars();
csvfile.load("customers.csv");
//
csvfile.onData = function(csv:String) {
      linesep = chr(13)+chr(10);
      lines = csv.split(linesep);
      linelen = lines.length;
      line = '';
      //
      recsep = chr(44);
      //
      record = new Array();
      for (var i:Number = 0; i<linelen; i++) {
            //
            line = lines[i];
            record[i] = line.split(chr(44));
            //
            recval = record[i].length-1;
            // Trace first value from each record
            trace(record[i][0]);
      }
};
