Placing misc words into an array

[Gemviper]

Lets say I have a half dozen words(or more) I'd like to place into an %array, how would I best do that?

Example: apple, monitor, computer, bike, kleenex and camera...\
set %array apple_monitor_computer_bike_kleenex_camera

That doesn't seem to work like it does for itemtypes, should it? After I perform an event property check I'd like to to run an if against the %array to find out if any of them are in there before I buy...

I know I can do individual checks such as if apple in #property || if...etc but that gets unwieldly if there are a couple dozen+ words in there. Suggestions?

edit: I am already running a loop on, for example, 125 items in a chest and during each item check I'd like to see if it has any of the words in it's property... without having an endless line of "if apple is in #property || monitor is in #property || etc."

You could so something like this:

Code: [Select]

set %array0 apple
set %array1 monitor
set %array2 bike
set %array3 kleenex
set %array4 camera

for %i 0 4
{
  set %item %array . %i
  display ok %item
}

stop

Then you just reference each of the items with the index reference %array . %i

if you just want to use a string to build upon so you can use the "in" function, you can just do something like:

Code: [Select]

set %array0 apple
set %array1 monitor
set %array2 bike
set %array3 kleenex
set %array4 camera

set %string
for %i 0 4
{
  set %string %string , _ , %array . %i
}

display ok %string
stop

It might help if I'm more specific, I'm hoping it's possible to tighten up this particular sub a bit. It deals with 210 "words", each belonging to a different itemtype.

set %itemtypes AAA_BBB_CCC_DDD_EEE_ETC...
finditem %itemtypes etc

but instead of proceeding from there I need to confirm that a particular word is found in the #property of every %itemtypes found, which is itself in a loop that itterates through each result, among other things. Is it not possible to create a single, albeit long, "set" of words instead of creating a lot of arrays? I don't want to return a positive unless an %itemtypes and "word" combo is found. CHecking each result against a long list of arrays, or if statements, doesn't feel optimal for my specific needs with this.

Just to confirm, it's not possible to create a single "set" of many words and return a positive if any one word is in that set ?

Sure, that's actually easy (assuming I understand your question)

Given your example:

Code: [Select]

set %array _apple_monitor_computer_bike_kleenex_camera_

EasyUO has the two operators "in" and "notin"  so you can do something like this:

Code: [Select]

set %array _apple_monitor_computer_bike_kleenex_camera_
set %test1 _raptor_
set %test2 _computer_

if %test1 notin %array ; notice the usage of "notin"
{
  display %test1 is not in %array
}

if %test2 in %array ; notice the usage of "in"
{
  display ok %test2 is in %array
}

stop

If you've already broken apart the #property into sections, you can name your variables what you're searching for, and set them to #true. Like if you're looking for very specific things.

Code: [Select]

set %arrayMonitor #true
set %arrayBike #true
set %arrayKleenex #true
set %arrayCamera #true
Then when you break apart your #property string, or you could even use the whole #property, and you get your result from each part, you can do some code like this:

Code: [Select]

for %I 1 %numberOfStringChunks
{
  gosub breakStringApartRight
  set %stringChunk n/a
  if %array . #result = #true
    set %stringChunk #result
  if %stringChunk = n/a
    display The variable is not in the #property.
  if %stringChunk <> n/a
    display The variable is in the #property.
}
Then you can use the %stringChunk variable if it's found to be in the #property in any way you like, in a variable to find what you are looking for in #property, or perform an action based on that item because it's the #result from earlier in the script, and it's in the #property.

Take a look at the BOD filterer I just posted.  It does exactly what you want.

One last question,

set %group200 AAA_BBB
set %group450 CCC_DDD

During the sub calculations are made against itemtypes and a final value number is generated(ie: 200). The next section of the script requires that I check to make sure that the itemtype is indeed in the group bearing the final value number(ie: if the final value is 200 then that item's itemtype is in %group200).

Sounds simple, and I'm sure it is, but I'm drawing a brain fart on the syntax. Example:

set %finalvalue 200
IF #FINDTYPE in %group200

I don't want to repeat the above check for each of the 210 groups and obviously "IF #FINDTYPE in %group%finalvalue" won't work(example to give you an idea of what I'm after)... so how can I I append the %finalvalue number to the %group to come up with %group200 ?

[TrailMyx]

I you're just looking to append whatever is in %group to %group_200, this is probably what you're looking for:

Code: [Select]

set %group_200 %group_200 , _ , %group


[Gemviper]

I am... sorta. 1 of the values I will not know in advance however. A simplified example...

Code: [Select]

set %group200 KWI_AAA_BBB_ETC

finditem KWI C_ ;example
event property #findid
set %nametotal 200 ;ommited the math that came up with value for simplicity sake
IF #FINDTYPE in %group%nametotal ; <---- brainfart here, I don't want to add anything to the group, only check against %group200
display ok %nametotal is accurate
I know the item type values in %group200 but will not know the %nametotal in advance and I want it to check on the group that corresponds with the %nametotal only. Hope that makes sense

[TrailMyx]

Oh, are you trying to build the variable "%group200"?

If so, this bit of test code might help:

Code: [Select]

set %group200 test
set %nametotal 200
set %val % . group . %nametotal
display ok %val

stop

Run that and see if it does what you want.

[Gemviper]

Bingo. With php you can print the literal of any variable within the code itself, my brain was stuck trying to do the same here, lol.

Thanks TM.

Yeh, EUO operator precedence rules are a bit wonky.  In all honesty, when I have to use the "," and "." operators, I generally write a bit of sample code to be sure they are executing in the correct order.

[Gemviper]

edit: my bad, it works... I had another brain fart. Time for bed I think.

Thanks TM

What is it that you're doing, Gemviper?
