I’ve come across a problem with some functionality I’m currently working on that is a mix type list, containing numbers and string fragments.  
Some of the string fragments contain commas, unfortunately Eggplant functional is interpreting the commas in the strings as list item delimiters and the code is not working as expected.

Is there away to get it to ignore these embedded commas in the strings?

We’d need to know exactly what you’re trying to do with the string. Please post an example of the strings, the code that you’re using, and an explanation of what you’re trying to achieve.
