[1.17] DB Records, digits as keys
|
| Code: |
#unvar testvar
testvar.one = 1
testvar.two = 2
#SHOWDB @testvar |
correctly outputs:
| Quote: |
Variable testvar removed.
one: 1
two: 2 |
but
| Code: |
#unvar testvar
testvar.1 = one
testvar.2 = two
#SHOWDB @testvar |
outputs:
| Quote: |
Variable testvar removed.
one|two: |
something odd when the key is a digit? |

Personally, I think it's not a bug but a fix to a zMUD kludge. It could go either way, I guess. The var.# syntax is more useful for finding elements in a string list or array. If you use #ADDKEY to make number keys, it works just fine.

I agree, the var.# would be the more useful of the two, so you can easily reference the nth item of an arrary etc.
var.# is what's broken though ;) |

This is not a bug. The var.# syntax is used for setting and retrieving elements of a string list or array, as Larkin said. This is by design. If you want to use numeric keys in a database variable, you have to use #ADDKEY to set them, and %db to retrieve them.
