status window displaying a data record with <> charact
|
Hi,
I've been trying to get the status window to display a data record without doing any stripping etc.
The data record contains info as the following:-
Key=Playername Value=378 552 101 Sla <Water> |c 346| <clanname> <PK>
This is the script i use to display the results into the window.
#stw %null
#loopdb @pk_person_stats {
#stw + %key":"%repeat( " ", %eval( 15 - %len( %key)))%val
}
The info contained in the <> brackets gets stripped away from the output.
So i'm left with
378 552 101 Sla |c 346|
Can't seem to find a way to get it to ignore it. I've tried a couple of other methods but with no luck.
I could always use a diff character than <> which i may well do. Or even use #WIn instead of #STW. However, i was curious as to what the solution would be.
Thanks |

In Prefs, on the MXP page uncheck 'Allow MXP in Status Window'
It shouldn't be necessary to continually rewrite the status window. This will give a similar display, but without the formatting spaces. It will update itself when variables change:
| Code: |
| #STW {%expanddb( @pk_person_stats, %cr, ": ")} |
To get the formatting, insert the spaces into the variable itself. I'm guessing that your variable entries come from a trigger so something like this.
| Code: |
| #ADDK pk_person_stats {%1} {%repeat( " ", 15 - %len( %1))%2} |

Implemented both suggestions of code change and working nicely.
Thanks LightBulb! |
