strings

[_C2_]

checked the tutorials here and there wasn't one... checked easy uo and they were too simple.

how do i separate lines in a string after i event property a multi-line item.  id love to just make a string out of the first line only.

is there some way to do it with the $?

you can use my split string subs for that.

Then you just use the "$" as the delimiter:

Code: [Select]

set %test_string THIS$IS$A$TEST$
gosub TM_SplitString %test_string $
gosub TM_SubstringCount
set %count #RESULT - 1
for %i 0 count
{
  gosub TM_GetIndex %i
  display OK %i , #SPC , #RESULT
}
stop

TM HAS A SUB FOR EVERYTHING!

(It's like he seeds these threads so we can boggle at his awesomeness)

alright... I'll check it out.  first glance it makes my head hurt.  there isnt a simple command to take character one up to the $ i guess.

check out my snippet here: http://www.scriptuo.com/index.php?topic=8886.msg77353#msg77353

you would do something like this:

event property %itemid
gosub separate_string #property $ ($ is the delimiter in this situation - my sub can handle any character as the delimiter)

%return1 would be the first line of text before the $


Edit:i failed to read trailmyx's post. looks like our subs do the same thing

lol....Honestly, why else would he have this site if it were not for his *Flashing AWESOMENESS Flashing*

Event Property (id)
Str Pos #Property $ 1
Str Left #Property #strres
Display #Strres
Halt

Event Property (id)
Str Pos #Property $ 1
Str Left #Property #strres
Display #Strres
Halt

That was the basis of what I needed to learn.  That wasn't in the tutorials that I read.  Thank you everyone!

[manwinc]

He asked how to do it. NOT HOW TO USE EVERYONE ELSES SUBS TO DO IT! *Cries*

Lol

[TrailMyx]

heh, yeh I didn't catch that when I first read it for some reason.... 

[Endless Night]

I guess its to late to throw my version of these subs out thier then .. dam .. late for the party once again.

[manwinc]

ahahahaha, Its good to see the Community whipping out what they've got whenever someone asks for help. Wait.....

Yeah, I am psyched so many folks jumped in.  I need to learn strings in more depth.  i've only used them in basic form.  thx again all!

[manwinc]

Yeah,


str len (String)
-> sets #Strres to the Length of the String

str Count (String) (Sub String)
-> sets #Strres to the # of Sub Strings in the String ; so if you Did a count of the # of "resist" in The property of  Most armor, it would return 5

Str Pos (String) (Sub String) (Index)
-> Sets #Strres to the Numeric Location of the Indexed Sub String.
Str Pos _This_ _ 2 ; Would Find the Location of the Second _ in the String "_This_ "
Str Pos is Usually used in Conjunction with  Str Count to determine how many instances or to Increment the Index's

Str Left (String) (Length)
-> Sets #Strres to the Part of the String from 1 to "Length"
Str Left This 2
-> #Strres = Th


Str Right (String) (Length)
-> Sets #Strres to the part of the String from the End in (Length) distance
Str Right This 2
-> #Strres = is

Str Mid (String) (Start) (Length)
-> Sets #Strres to the Part of the string from the Start to Start + Length
Str Right and Str Left become obsolete as you learn to use Str Mid

Str Lower (String)
-> Turns Penguins into llamas. Or Something like that... Honestly Never Used it. I'd Imagine it Forces everything to Lower Case

Str Ins (String) (Sub String) (Start)
-> Inception of a string inside a string.....

Str Del (String) (Start) (Length)
-> Sets #Strres to the Leftover String after you Chop it into Pieces

Those are all the Commands Described in a fairly basic way....

Some Handy Pointers when it comes to handling Property Strings.

#Property isn't the same as Journal. You don't have _ instead of Spaces. Instead you have actual Spaces. So Physical Resist becomes Physical , #Spc , Resist in EUO.

Learn to Use Str Count, Str Pos, Str Mid and you can Pull just about any Data you want out of a string.
