I've run into an issue where I've got problems, and I've read the helpfile, but still can't figure this one out:
I've got the following variables.
Status
Statequilibrium
Statbalance

The Status variables keeps getting characters in it, but never more than one occurance of each (from a to z only). They aren't necessary in alphabetical order.
What I would like to to is to trigger if I find a certain character in the variable, but I can't figure out how to see if that character is there.
This is what I've tried:
Trigger: (%a)h, (%a)m (%a)
Value: health=%1
mana=%2
status=%3
#IF {@status="?e",@statequilibrium=1,@statequilibrium=0}
#IF {@status="*d",@statdiffusion=1,@statdiffusion=0}

The status variable can for an example have "dey" in it, where "e" is equilibrium. I don't want anything to happen while e is not there...

Can you help me please?

Many thanks

Best regards,

Dragonheart

#IF {@status="?e",@statequilibrium=1,@statequilibrium=0}
#IF {@status="*d",@statdiffusion=1,@statdiffusion=0}

Is kinda in the %if the function syntax.

How about something like:

#IF (%pos("e",@Status) > 0) {@statequilibrium=1} {@statequilibrium=0}
#IF (%pos("d",@Status) > 0) {@statdiffusion=1} {@statdiffusion=0}

Fixed 12 minutes later to make me look smarter. Corrected my #IF () {} {} as dacheeba's

kind of confusing,because the syntax you use for #IF is really the syntax for %if, but whatever. :)

Trigger:
(%a)h, (%a)m (%a)
Value:
health=%1
mana=%2
status=%3
#IF (%pos(e,@status)) {statequilibrium=1} {statequilibrium=0}
#IF (%pos(d,@status)) {statdiffusion=1} {statdiffusion=0}

That will do it

Curse you TonDiening!50 seconds to slow :(

Heh, just goes to show great minds think alike(some faster than others however :P)

You can use the %pos function for this, either directly or as a comparison.
Also, it's important to use the correct syntax for the #IF command, it's not identical to the %if function.
I've always preferred to test parameters from aliases and triggers directly, rather than store them to a variable and then test the variable.
#IF (%pos(e,@status) > 0) {statequilibrium=1} {statequilibrium=0}
#IF (%pos(d,%3)) {statdiffusion=1} {statdiffusion=0}

Heh, we all seem agreed that %pos is the answer
