script generated string output strange
|
Having trouble getting output right on a little timer reporting script I was writing... it is behaving abnormally, and worked in past zmud (though I since changed it to be cmud friendly w/ the variables)
| Code: |
pmsg = ""
#if (%db(@prots,"greater")) {#add pmsg "%db(@prots,greater) %eval(@timer-%db(@prots,"greater_start")) s~~(%db(@prots,"greater_history") s~~) | "} {#add pmsg "%db(@prots,"greater_name") DOWN | "}
#if (%db(@prots,"lesser")) {#add pmsg "%db(@prots,lesser). %eval(@timer-%db(@prots,"lesser_start")) s~~(%db(@prots,"lesser_history") s~~) | "} {#add pmsg "%db(@prots,"lesser_name") DOWN | "}
#if (%db(@prots,iw)) {#add pmsg "IW %eval(@timer - %db(@prots,"iw_start")) s | "} {#add pmsg "@prots.iw_name DOWN | "}
party say @pmsg |
outputs ->
| Quote: |
| party say PFG132s(500s)| lPhys. 0 s(875 s) | IW 0 s | |
now, if you look at the spacing between the 'greater' and 'lesser' prots, it is identicle, the only difference being the '.' put in the 'lesser' line.
I used the . because I saw somewhere it was to 'append' a string. so i was not expecting the dot to show up after Lphys
stranger even then, is since the dot is there, magically all the spacing works as it should.
I tried adding just a " " (as shown) where the . is instead, but it then caused the output to break completely, as follows:
| Quote: |
party say PFGlPhys. 0 s(875 s) | IW 0 s |
|
I'm totally unsure what I am doing wrong, but as said, very very similar syntax worked in zmud just fine. all i changed from there to here is the %db(db,key) to used a key'd list's values.
Any help would be welcomed.
Goal: allow formatting to show manufactured message as intended. (without the '.' after lphys, etc)
Thanks,
Aerious
PS. I use cmud 2.18 |

I think the problem is coming from the nested quotes. I know #ADD can be used for string concatenation, but I would never recommend it, use %concat instead.
| Code: |
| #if (%db(@prots,"greater")) {pmsg=%concat(@pmsg," ",%db(@prots,"greater")," ",%eval(@timer-%db(@prots,"greater_start"))," s(",%db(@prots,"greater_history")," s) | ")} {pmsg=%concat(@pmsg,%db(@prots,"greater_name")," DOWN | ")} |

Thank you Vijilante, it worked like a charm.
I guess I was using #ADD back from zmud days, and zmud did not care so much about the "" or something.
However %concat works great.
