Break up variable into smaller variables?
|
Is it possible to take a string and break it up into smaller strings?
I'm trying to take a line of text and break it up into words.
For example I have a line that looks like this.
%[e32mA private commander (ansi color is yellow)
My goal is to make a MXP link for the individual words that does the command "exa"
#Trigger ^%e[32m {#show ok}
Will show "ok" on all lines that are yellow while skipping everything else which means i'm triggering only the proper lines however,
#Trigger ^%e32m(*) {#show %line} will show me the entire line "A private commander"
Creating a MXP link to %1 will show A private commander and send "exa A private commander" which fails on the mud.
Putting a trigger on (%w) and repeating in line will resolve my issue but it'll create links for every word in the mud and not just the ones on the orange lines.
Putting a trigger on ^%e[32m(%w) will create a link only to the first word on each line in which "exa a" will fail
Putting a trigger on %e[32m(%w) with "repeat within line" will only create a link to the last word of the line. "exa commander" works but for example An impoverished man will fail because the unique word is impoverished.
Is there a way to break up %line into (%w) (%w) (%w) (%w) (%w) ........and turn A private commander into A private commander from here I can click the unique word and have exa commander or exa private take effect.
Thanks! |

| Code: |
| #LOCAL Output;#LOOP %numwords(%line, " ") {$Output=%concat($Output,"<send 'exa ",%word(%line, %i," "),"'>",%word(%line, %i," "),"</send> ")};#MXP $Output} |
Keep in mind that if you output it in the same color, it's going to go into an infinite loop. But that should work for you, anyway. |

Holy smokies that script has officially declared me a script kiddie. Lol
I'm going to %stripansi from the output because it was actually logging 0mA when I first started toying with my database. That should isolate any loops.
Thank you very much! I'll test it as soon as I get home. Have a wonderful day! |

Hey Charneus,
Thank you very much for your assistance!, Here was my final script for others to see if they ever run into the same situation.
| Code: |
#trigger ^%e[33m
{
#gag
#LOCAL Output;#LOOP %numwords(%line, " ") {$Output=%concat($Output,"<send 'exa ",%word(%replace((%line),",",""), %i," "),"'>",%word(%line, %i," "),"</send> ")};#MXP $Output
}

It's exactly as you left it but I made a small adition of stripping out the , from the exa portion using the %replace function. I only know how to strip 1 character, not several so I chose , as that was the most common character used. 
Thank you very much for taking the time to draw that up for me. Much appreciated! |

To strip out several characters, it's probably best to use %subchar, where you can do:
%subchar(%line, ",-.?!*")
and whatever other characters you come across. |
