Lua substitute?
|
Okay how do you do use substitute in LUA?
I tried the following:
zs.substitute("")
zs.cmd.substitute("")
Neither one works. |

Anyone know how to do this? Right now I am having to do...
zs.cmd.gag()
zs.print("<strong><color yellow>Replacement Line Here</color></strong>")
Isn't this going to slow me down with the gagging? |

Just mentioned this in the other thread, zs.sub() and zs.substitute() both work fine here.
If this string of posts of yours is telling me anything, it's that I REALLY need to finish that Lua tutorial. I'll get round to it one day :( |

It refuses to work with either of those.
For example...
zs.sub("<color red>Some line here</color>")
does not work
zs.substitute("<color red>Some line here</color>")
doesn't work either.
I'm on 2.37. |

What the hell...
Well I don't know but I had something weird go on. I had attempted variations of sub earlier and it created another trigger with my substitution and the value of #sub {0}. I deleted that and now it works.  |

The #SUB (or zs.sub() in Lua) requires two arguments... the pattern to match, and what you're substituting it for. You've only been using one: Here's an example of how it might work:
| Code: |
zs.sub("godlike","Zugg-like")
zs.show("I have godlike power!")
|
If you run the script then you should see: "I have Zugg-like power!" |

its not smart enough to realize the trigger pattern is what is to be subbed?

Gael,
You can substitute the entire trigger pattern directly. That is for substituting certain words...like string.gsub.
The problem is it stops working once in awhile...just like the syntax highlighting...and now zs.param(). |

If you take a look at the documentation for the #sub command, Gael, you'll see that it has an optional second argument. What this does is create a trigger in the format:
#trig {$firstarg} {#sub {$secondarg}}
You can also use zs.sub() in the same way that #sub is used in that trigger. |
