Neatest way to iterate through a CSV string?

Example: "1stString,2ndString,3rdString,4thString," etc..

..so the code allows us to, for example, check if the string is a user currently in the hub..

if GetItemByName(xString) then
.... do stuff with xString ....
end

for some reason I haven't been able to get string.gfind to work in a for loop for me. Might be due to lack of sleep

for w in string.gfind(data,"([^,]+)") do
  if GetItemByName(xString) then
    -- .... do stuff with xString ....
  end
end

Also take a look at this  page.
Everything could have been anything else and it would have just as much meaning.

Thanks a million for that bastya_elvtars :)

It turns out the code I had tried wasn't even being run because of an unrelated script bug, but your example was neater anyway.
