#FIND and Mapper
|
The documentation for FIND states:
"In the second command format (without parameters), it finds the current location on the map. Issues the MUD Look command and compares the current MUD room description with the map database and sets the map location to the matching room. "
FIND does not work like 'find all rooms with name x in zone y'...
... is SQL-ing the mapper db file the only recourse? |

If there is more than one matching room, that is the case, yes.

OK.
The main session file I open in sqlite DB Browser app.
I can filter using the 'Browse Data' box in the tool and it auto-generates a query:
(it was an extreme amount of more complicated by I trimmed it down to the bare minimum)
| Code: |
| SELECT "_rowid_",* FROM "main"."ObjectTbl" WHERE ("Name" LIKE "A Long Hallway") ; |
Which returns:
| Code: |
ObjId Name ZoneID
21181 A Long Hallway 206
10031 A Long Hallway 119
10045 A Long Hallway 119
10048 A Long Hallway 119
10051 A Long Hallway 119
28979 A Long Hallway 196
18995 A Long Hallway 130
27755 A Long Hallway 130
18987 A Long Hallway 130
27752 A Long Hallway 130
27753 A Long Hallway 130
18986 A Long Hallway 130
27751 A Long Hallway 130
18977 A Long Hallway 130
27742 A Long Hallway 130
19560 A Long Hallway 138
28413 A long hallway 190
28414 A long hallway 190
28415 A long hallway 190
28426 A long hallway 190
28427 A long hallway 190
20661 A Long Hallway 243
20663 A Long Hallway 243
20666 A Long Hallway 243
20668 A Long Hallway 243
31584 A Long Hallway 270
31545 A Long Hallway 270
31585 A Long Hallway 270
31544 A Long Hallway 270
31588 A Long Hallway 270
3119 A Long Hallway 71
3120 A Long Hallway 71
3123 A Long Hallway 71
19623 A long hallway 220
19624 A long hallway 220
19625 A long hallway 220

The documentation for %sql: %sql(name, sql-string)
The example in the docs and this reply from Rahab http://204.209.44.89/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37987 both state:
(eg)
#SQLDB testing.db
Filename immaterial? As zugg docs claim that the DBs are sqlite but yet have different filename suffixes (.db and .dbm). Is 'name' an arbitrary name or the non-suffixed part of the filename? - both examples use filename and 'name' as the same thing.
In reality, my query would want to pull all rooms whose name matches the name string and whose zoneID matches the zone I am interested in. I was not sure how I could test this out in the DB Browser thing as rooms are in ObjectTbl and zones are in ZoneTbl. I am not a DB-er so am not sure how
SELECT row FROM dbfile.dbm.ObjectTbl WHERE 'Name=A Long Hallway' AND ZoneID=125
translates to cmud's sql-ishness. Or even
SELECT $row FROM dbfile.dbm.ObjectTbl WHERE Name=$name AND ZoneID=$zone |

I have never been very adept with CMUD's implementation of SQL.
However, I think the %mapquery function may be of some use to you.
Have a read of: #HELP %mapquery |
