Contact/String Variables question
|
Okay here's my code.
| Code: |
afflictions=%concat( @afflictions, "|", @pendafflictions)
Cures=%concat( @Cures, "|", @pendCures)
pendafflictions=""
pendCures=""
|
I've got two problems I'm currently seeing..
First, if pendafflictions is empty every time it concats.. it adds a blank line to the afflictions variable.
Second, if there is something to concat, it will keep adding the same affliction.
Example:
blank line
blank line
burning
blank line
burning
blank line
blank line
blank line
burning

Use #IF to check if the @pendaffliction is empty or null
| Code: |
| #IF (!%null(@pendafflictions)) { afflictions=%concat( @afflictions, "|", @pendafflictions) } |
For you second it's best to loop through @pendafflictions (assuming it's a string list) and use #ADDITEM to add them to cures.
Something like the following should do the trick.
| Code: |
| #FORALL @pendafflictions {#ADDITEM @Cures %i} |
Actually that second bit of code should take care of both problems. |

Though you don't need the double negative !%null... just doing #if (@pendafflictions) will do.
But yes, the #forall and #additem is a better way to go about it. |

You could also maybe use %additem/#additem to add the entire @pendafflictions list to the afflictions list. This, of course, will cause parentheses to be placed around this sublist, but two %replace() functions will handle that pretty effectively.
