reading from a text file
|
I made a trivia script
I have a txt file full of trivia questions and answer but i'm not sure how to extract the questions/answers
How was your day?*awesome
is the format that the trivia questions are in
is there a way to randomly select a line, set a question variable to what comes before the * and a answer variable to everything after the *?
thank you for your time
I need an opposite of concat really..
to split the line into How was your day? and awesome
Help please |

#FILE 1 trivia_text_file_name_in_your_zmud_directory.txt
#VAR A_Question %read(1,%random(1,%filesize(1))
#VAR A_Answer %copy(@A_Question,%pos("*",@A_Question)+1,%len(@A_question))
#VAR A_Question %copy(@A_Question,1,%pos("*",@A_Question)-1)
say @A_Question
say @A_Answer
Something like that should work. This solution has no memory of questions asked though. |

You're looking for %word()
| Code: |
#file 1 "yourfile.txt"
question=%word(%read(1,@line),1,"*")
answer=%word(%read(1,@line),2,"*")
