Hi,
i have a txt-file where i have some values stored.
It looks like this:
[Weapon]
Sword
Knife
[Armour]
Trousers
[Player]
Player1
Player2
Player3
now i want to read only the lines after the values in [].
eg: ShowMe Player
Then i want to add all the entries after [Player] in a variable.
Can someone tell me how i can do that?
Best Regards,
Baldur |

why don't you store this in a database instead.

Because i create the txt-files with a Visual Basic Programm. If you can tell me how to write into a Zmud-Database from VB i can do that :)

is this the entire file, or can your text file have multiple occurances like:
[Weapon]
Sword
Knife
[Armour]
Trousers
[Player]
Player1
Player2
Player3
[Weapon]
Sword
Knife
[Armour]
Trousers
[Player]
Player1
Player2
Player3
I', sure there are more efficient ways to do this.
Anyway, here is something to get you started.
#alias load_players {#FILE 1 test.txt;read_file}
#alias read_file {#if (%read(1) = "[Player]") {get_players} {read_file}
#alias get_players {#var temp_player {%read(1)};if (@temp_player =~ (~[*~])) {#noop} {#if (@temp_player = "") {#nopp} {#additem player_list @temp_player}}
This should get you started, there are some things i did not consider, if the file does not contain a [player] then the alias may blow up.

just to give you a walk through.
#alias load_players {#FILE 1 test.txt;read_file}
This alias will kick off the entire process. It will open the file and call a seperate alias to start reading it.
#alias read_file {#if (%read(1) = "[Player]") {get_players} {read_file}
this alias will read the file and look for [Player] string, if found, it will call the alias to get the players name, else it will read the next line in the file.
#alias get_players {#var temp_player {%read(1)};if (@temp_player =~ (~[*~])) {#noop} {#if (@temp_player = "") {#nopp} {#additem player_list @temp_player}}
This last alias will put the lines after the [player] into a holding variable, check if that line has any bracket values or if the line is empty. if not, it will load the line into the player list
