database help
 
just looking for a basic example of using a database.
the help files, ... didn't help.

i made a db called magitems with 2 fields.. name & val

i made a simple alias to try and set it.

#echo adding to db...
#addkey magitems name dexterity val 5
#showdb magitems

newp,
thanks for any helps
X.

p.s.
i am trying just adding to a stringlist instead, and its working, but I am not seeing "stored..."
on already stored items, all items show ... "storing new:"



#if (%ismember( %1, @mods)) {#echo stored..} {
#echo storing new:
#ADDITEM mods {%1}
}

Simple syntax error, you did not properly reference the variable to display it.

#SHOWDB @magitems


You you have recently installed on a new system, you may need to run CMUD as an administrator to give in permission to save changes to variables.
