Here is the entire routine. I understand what they are doing except for the strip part. Im not sure exactly what language this is because Ive never seen this in C before so Im assuming its either Pythion or something to that extent.
int dataFile := OpenFile("/DATA/operators.csv", 1);
int i := 1;
int commaPointer := 0;
cstring line := ReadFileLine(dataFile);
while(line != "")
{
commaPointer := Find(line,',',0);
AUTH.lease.operator.indexList := TextToInt(Strip(Left(line,commaPointer),'#'),10);
AUTH.lease.operator.nameList := Strip(Right(line,Len(line)-commaPointer-1),'#');
line := ReadFileLine(dataFile);
i++;
}
AUTH.lease.scrollMenu.minLength := i;
AUTH.lease.operator.lastListedIndex := AUTH.lease.operator.indexList[i-1];
CloseFile(dataFile);
