string insert
|
is there a function that does something like this?
it would be veeeeeeeeeeeeerrry convenient if there were.
queue = "first entry|second entry|fourth entry"
queue = %insert(@queue, "third entry", 3) |

Err.. all I can think of is "%additem", but you probably knew that :)

yeah, additem unfortunately only adds to the end of the list, not to an arbitrary spot.

There's not one directly, but using %replaceitem() you can sneak in another element with a simple concatenation:
%replaceitem(@queue, 3,"third entry|fourth entry")
Not sure if that will generate a nested stringlist, though. If it does, you will have to do things in a slightly more roundabout way using a loop and %concat(). |

Yes Matt that will create a nested stringlist.
gmueller create yourself an alias called addnitem and paste the following code into the settings dialog for it
| Code: |
#if (%numparam != 3) {#echo Usage: addnitem variable number item;#abort 1}
#if (!%defined(%1)) {#echo Usage: addnitem expects the variable to already be defined;#abort 1}
#if (!%isnumber(%2)) {#echo Usage: addnitem only takes integers for the 2nd argument;#abort 1}
#if (%2 < 2) {#echo Usage: addnitem only takes integers 2 and greater for the 2nd argument;#abort 1}
#if (%2 > %numitems(@%1)) {#echo Usage: addnitem should not be given a 2nd argument greater than the number of items in the variable passed in the 1st argument;#abort 1}
#var tempaddn ""
#loop 1,(%2 - 1) {#additem tempaddn %item(@%1,%i)}
#additem tempaddn %3
#loop %2,%numitems(@%1) {#additem tempaddn %item(@%1,%i)}
#var %1 @tempaddn |
to put an item with spaces in make sure the 3rd argument is put in like "item with space" and make sure you don't do something like "first item|second item" otherwise once again you will end up with a nested stringlist. |
