Identify script for database
|
So, I'm a novice, currently trying to set up a script that will read identify information and plug it into the database fields I've created. I've read through some other posts, but had a question. On the mud I'm playing, the Item is line can show up like this:
| Quote: |
| Item is: MAGIC !VAG !MUT !CYB !INF |
Now I've set up 2 different fields, one for FLAGS (ie. MAGIC is one), and another for Class Restrictions (ie. !VAG). Since they're output on the same line, is this asking for trouble? I set up each field as an Option List, since there's only a specified number of things that can show up. Should I be somehow making a trigger for if it sees !VAG it can turn on the V option in the Option List?
Thanks. |

No real trouble, it's just that you can't do it as simply as $flags = %1.
I'd start out by pushing %1 into list format and initializing variables for the flags and class restrictions:
$itemflags = %list(%1," ")
$flags = ""
$class_restricts = ""
From there, I'd do a forall loop on $itemflags with a #switch or #case to evaluate the master list of tags:
#forall $itemflags {
#switch (%ismember(%i,"!VAG|!MUT|!CYB|!INF|etc")) {#additem $class_restricts %i}
(%ismember(%i,"MAGIC|etc")) {#additem $flags %i}
(1) {#print "unknown flag value: "%i}
} |

I read this last night and it made as much sense as Swedish to me, but this morning it's actually making some sense. Thanks.
