Grid Coordinates

[sameer valva]

Hi all,

What is the wright way to take a coordinates from an input and put it in the grid.

I have two inputs one for the name, and one for the coordinates (where to insert this name)

I don't want to make two inputs for the cell (one for the row, and one for the Column) , for some reasons i need it to be in one input like (3,5) or (18,29) or the wright format.

I made an example for help .

Thanks in advance.

Hi herrin,

Thank you for your effort and time, but i mentioned that i don't want to put two separated inputs for the row and the col , i need only one input. is it possible ? can an input have a format combining the two coordinates.

To be more specific , can the (row,col) contained in one variable so the grid targets the cell ?

Thank you herrin, i appreciate your great help, i already did something close to your solution Text to Grid_reworked.apz, i will try the second option after i install the needed plugin you used.

Another Issue is that your project works for 9x9 grid but if need to go with bigger grid it wont work i guess.

Is there any way to take all numbers before the comma as the row and take all the numbers after the comma as the column ?

Thanks is advance

I tried so many solutions and searched the forum before i even asked for the help, im not urging anyone to help, you stepped and gave a nice approach and i appreciate your help and really you helped a lot. This forum was always the saver for me for many years and learned here everything from all of you and still learning.

Returning back to the problem , if you can see i put (1,18) so it should be inserted in row 1 and column 18, but as you see in the attachments, it was inserted in column 8.

obviousness = 01,18

Forgive my bad English, i didn't understand that you want me to do this , i already did it, and i know that this way needs to have an equal number of digits before and after the comma to work.

I was trying to find a way without adding 0 . Anyway this was so good so far, and i will do the best to find a good way to do it and share it here.

Thank you herrin
