How do I get the location of a data record value if I match the key?
|
I've got a data record called @botspelltriggers showing oh=Heal|or=Regenerate|om=Mortal Restore|ohg=Hand of God
Now the code:
@tempbotspellword = or
tempspellloc = %iskey(@botspelltriggers,@tempbotspellword)
returns "2" correctly as @tempspellloc, but how do I then tell the script to use the corresponding value?
Logically something like @botspelltriggers.tempspellloc would work but it doesn't.
Thanks |

%db(@botspelltriggers,@tempbotspellword)

As a side note, this would be applicable to a string list, but not a database variable. Theoretically, the position of the key in a db variable is irrelevant since the point is to reference the key. |

The %iskey() function will return the position of the key, just like %ismember() returns the position of the element in the stringlist. To reference the value, use either the @var.key notation (which doesn't work when key is a variable) or the %db() function.
