Retrieving part of a variable
|
Hi,
a short newbiequestion:
I have a variable @finger.guild.Usual content of the cariable is Newbie, Alchemist, Mage, Pirate, Pirate:xyz etc.
When the content of this variable is pirate_xyz I'd like to retrieve the xyz patz into a new variable. How can I do this?
Thanks very much

%word(@whatever,1,":")
However, how're you using the format "finger.guild.usual" for a variable name? The . character shouldn't be used in variable names - it's used to select a key from a data record variable. But unless you're setting the table manually from CMUD's Lua interface, there's no way to get a table more than one layer deep. So what's going on? |
