Help parsing a string
« on: January 18, 2011, 05:37:08 pm »
Hai im back with another probably dumb question. So i have a users input stored to I, then the first letter of I is stored to N. I have "RLDQ" stored to C. Im trying to figure out how to step thru the letters in C and compare them to N. Inside a For( loop, i have this code:
Code: [Select]
If (N=(C+A)):Goto KK:End Where A increments from 1 to 4. It seems to always return false and i know it has to do with the If block. Help plz :) EDIT: i just realized that when i copy the first byte of I to N, it doesnt stay as a char. Oops

I would also do A from 0-3, not 1-4.  Also, {C+A} I believe would be more accurate as you are getting the byte at location C+A.

May I suggest a simpler soultion? inData(N,C) will return the 1-based position at which the byte stored in N is found in the string, or 0 if it is not found.

Ok i cant seem to get the first byte of I as a character so ill try inData. Will report back in a sec. One sec later, I got this to work:
Code: [Select]
For(A,0,3):If inData({C+A}, I):Goto KK:End:End Thatx guise! I didnt know about inData lol

inData( would be better. Remember that you'll occasionally have problems with getting the characters to display properly, so set the byte with a known hex value to test it. Don't trust your input routine.

Ok another question. How to i get a substring? Like get the last part of a string?
Code: [Select]
For(A,3,Length([string]))
//something to get the character at A and append it to another string
End
Or is there a command that does this?

To get the end of the string you don't even need a command.  If your string is Str1, lets say it says: "Hello".  Then Str1+1 is "ello", Str1+2 is "llo", Str1+3 is "lo" etc.

Another question involving strings (since i cant for the life of me find the thread where this was mentioned), how do i insert a token at the beginning of a string? Like if R is "ABC" and i want to make it say "prgmABC"

The easiest Axe way to do it would be to make a new string and copy it over.

If you want a faster way to do it, there's bcall(_InsertMem), which allocates extra memory for a variable.

ok that worked but the token is copying as a character. How do i copy a token? It gives me a bad symbol error when i do >Tok in the copy and when i try to store it to its own string

Use T. For example, Tprgm→{getCalc("Str0")}.

How can R be a string?

Good question but it works for me. I cant store input to a regular string var so idk. I forgot about that T thing thanks. The most recent version of the commands list i have printed (no computer access) is 0.4.1 so i guess it wasnt listed in that one
