stringlists %selected and endlines
|
If I copy text to a variable with %selected it is just like the output
I have not been able to get pipes on the end lines
#var dumbstring %subregex( @blocktext, ",\s*", "|")
#var dumbstring %subregex( @dumbstring, "\.", " ")
#var dumbstring %subregex( @dumbstring, " ", "|")
will make strings of sentences but not for single entries or spaces and so single entries are lost or in these weird multi-item things that scroll in the string list editor.
I have found another approach to this without %selected but if anyone knows how to get pipes on end lines I would be happy to know, spent the afternoon watching Lord of the Rings and looking at this.
and
%subregex( @blocktext, "\w+$", "\w+|") does nothing
%subregex( @blocktext, "$", "|") locks ZMud |

If all you want is a pipe at the end of the string regardless of what comes before it, why not just concat one there manually?

It actually sounds (after re-reading initial post) that you are trying to store sentences retrieved from the MUD into a stringlist variable, correct?
There are two methods I use to do this, one is using concat... however this has the downside of adding a pipe at the start of the variable IF there is nothing already in it.
ie:
| Code: |
#TR {Blah (*).} {#var stringlist %concat(@stringlist, "|", %1)}
|
But also... (the better way, in case the stringlist is empty...)
| Code: |
#TR {Blah (*).} {#var temp %1;#additem stringlist @temp}
|
I assign %1 to a temp var first, for the simple fact that if you use %1 directly in the additem, it only takes the first word. I've never found any other way around it, even using %string(%1)... which SHOULD do it, does not. So I assign it to another variable first. |

For the %1 to work directly in Zmud sometimes you MUST put "" around it like so "%1". Give this a try.
| Code: |
| #TR {Blah (*).} {#additem stringlist "%1"} |

Actually I am wondering about the output from a block of selected text using a speed menu and %selected. I am not processing received text but creating one huge variable including invisible end lines.
This text would look like this in some bizarre parody of a mud
----- my selection highlight in the output window might begin here ------------

OUCH

It was of little consequence to me well or evil, I am only caring for my grove and what crime could I have committed? As such I live true to any consequence. Still, I have reviewed PK law and wish to point out Fred is more then a scoundrel for attacking me, he is criminal."
----- my selection highlight in the output window might end here ------------
So if I paste all that into a variable and try to remove spaces and insert pipes I have bad results. I think it is invisible code that keeps the lines separate. Not too important as I have 1000 things I want to code. just if anyone knew how to do that it would be useful to me, not just there, but for processing block pastes from logs, if I wanted to do that one again.
Phew, sorry, anyway, if it is too weird, please forget I asked, and thanks everyone for trying to help. |

Oh. You want to do this
| Code: |
| #MENU SetBigVar {BigVar=%replace(%selected,%cr,"|")} |
I am pretty sure %selected is only really valid from a right-click menu.

I couldn't get if you were trying to keep the empty lines or not but if you are this will work
| Code: |
| #var mylist %subregex(@blocktext,"(\r\n)","|") |
|

Cool, and neither worked, but they were copied to my corrupted machine. I will reformat windows soon, but if I can code still (as in help files) , maybe it will be exportable.
Media!

I hear you Vijilante, thanks for %cr which even displays badly in that help file, this is an answer to my odd question. You rock.
*
MyList didn’t work, but thank you for the unix newline char Dharkael, I will be able to localize that. You rock too.
*
As an aside, I am near to closing a loop on Achaean concoction selling, doing new things there, or difficult things done before.
Should reformat, but I code by the help text and if it works on ’my windows’, I will be happy with any export
