Hi guys, I've a question:
I want to convert a string(say, origin_source = sources) to mutableMap. How to implement with associateTo ?

[Shawn]

do you want to convert the string itself to a map or a collection of strings

[Akhil Suseelan]

string itself

[Dominaezzz]

Into a map of what?

[Akhil Suseelan]

mutableMapOf<String, String>

[karelpeeters]

Can you give a complete input/output example?

[ilya.gorbunov]

If you have a list of strings in form of a=b and you want to split each string by = into key and value, you can do it as following:

list.associateTo(mutableMap) { it.split("=").let { (key, value) -> key to value } }
