%db and %replace simple question.
|
Hello
I was using something like that on Zmud:
| Code: |
#TR @vTest
#CW 5
#ST >%ansi( 128)F5-> Kill %ansi( 7)
#KE F5 {
kill %db( @vTest, %replace( %1))
}
|
Variable @vTest was in looking like this:
| Code: |
goblin=green ugly looking monster
ork=black tall warrior
trooper=shiny trooper with a gun
|
It was working fine on old zMud, but now I cant get that work on Cmud, all I get is "kill " on screen, nothing else. I guess im missing something.
Anyone can help me please? |

If it was working in zMUD, I'm surprised. %replace takes an old string and replaces it with a new string. Therefore, it requires three parameters.
Without knowing more about your script, I'd imagine changing the kill %db(@vTest, %replace(%1)) to just kill %db(@vTest, %1) will work just fine.

Thx for fast answer, but, I tryied that too, and its simply not working, I still get only "kill " and nothing else behind.
The script should check if the key 'trooper' exist in @vTest and if yes, it should get value from the 'trooper' key, and bind on F5 ' kill shiny trooper with a gun'. Any ideas? |

Well, it appears your trigger is NOT capturing any vital information. Assuming the rest of the code is within the TRIGGER part, change your trigger to:
#TR ({@vTest})
That should work. I haven't tested it myself today, but I'll test it soon enough if it doesn't work for you.

Yr right, all the time I was looking in the wrong place.... thanks so much Charneus.
Last question, its working good on #SHOW, but its not working on #KEY F5 {kill %db( @vTest, %1)}, all I have on key is 'kill %db( @vTest, %1)' instead of 'kill shiny trooper with a gun' . What do I need to add? |

Hmmm... not sure why it's not working correctly in that case. It may be that it's not all on one line. Try putting it as #KEY F5 {kill %db(@vTest, %1)} instead of on three separate lines. However, if that still doesn't work, there is a workaround for it, I'm sure, which is:
#EXEC {%concat("#KEY F5 {kill ",%db(@vTest, %1),"}")}
That should work. |

You know, it might be a lot simpler, rather than redefining the macro each time, to just have the macro do, say, kill @something and then your script do something=%db(@vTest,%1). You could also just store the value of %1 in a variable and do the %db function in the macro.

Nice idea too, this kill list is very long, I will test which method is more effective for me.
