Zugg Software :: View topic - #ADD to a specific possition within a string list

Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 1:09 am

I'm trying to add values to a certain possition in a string list. I use this list based on the possition of the maximum value.

Here is what I'm working with:

#VAR list {0|0|0|0|0|0} //<- standard list
%pos( %max( %expandlist( @list, ",")), @list) //<- function that returns the possition of the maximum value. I use this as #IF (%pos( %max( %expandlist( @list, ",")), @list)=3) {action} for example

I can't figure out a way to add to a specific possition within that list. I'd like to have something along these lines, but how to pull it off escapes me.
Output: Bill kicks your dog
Result: #VAR list {+1|0|0|0|0|0}

Output: Jamie kicks your cat
Result #VAR list {0|+1|0|0|0|0}

That way I can check whether my dog or cat has been kicked more with:
#IF (%pos( %max( %expandlist( @list, ",")), @list)=3) {#echo Cat has been kicked more}

The closest way I can come up with is this, based of my string list experience:
#MATH list {list.1}+1
#ADD {list.1} 1

You already know the position of the stringlist you want to modify, right? Simply %eval() this information using %item(stringlist,itemnumber) to refer to the appropriate item and you can then directly substitute that with %replaceitem() into your stringlist.

%replaceitem(%eval(%item(stringlist,itemnumber) + 1), itemnumber, stringlist)

I think I solved my own problem, sorry to bother you all.

#AL checkpet {#IF (%pos( %max( %expandlist( @list, ",")), @list)=1) {#echo Dog has been kicked more}} {#IF ((%pos( %max( %expandlist( @list, ",")), @list)=3)) {#echo Cat has been kicked more}}
#VAR list {@dog|@cat|@otheritem}
#VAR dog {0} {0}
#TR {%w kicks your dog} {#ADD dog 1}
#TR {%w kicks your cat} {#ADD cat 1}

and such.
Thanks for giving me a place to think. =P

edit: If there's a reason I shouldn't approach it this way, please let me know.
