[3.xx] %subregex does not accept dbrec.key syntax
|
As you may or may not know, Aardwolf color codes consist of the character @ followed by a letter indicating the color to be use. For instance @M means "bright magenta" and @R means "bright red".
With this in mind, I ran the following test:
| Code: |
$pattern = (%char( 64) + "(?<n>\w)")
;;
$string = (%char( 64) + "MThis is " + %char(64) + "Ra test")
;;
#ECHO %subregex( $string, $pattern, "<color @colordb.%ascii(\n)>") "</color>"
|
To see if I could have a simple and quick routine to decode the mud color codes.
What the #ECHO returns in the above code is the entire database record prefixed to the output string: <dbrec>.is a test.
However if I use the classic key/value format:
| Code: |
$pattern = (%char( 64) + "(?<n>\w)")
;;
$string = (%char( 64) + "MThis is " + %char(64) + "Ra test")
;;
#ECHO %subregex( $string, $pattern, "<color %db( @colordb, %ascii(\n))>") "</color>"
|
the operation works, emitting the correct colors.
Note that $var = @colordb.%ascii("M") works.
Here is the database record:
| Code: |
<var name="colordb" type="Record" id="927">
<value>82=red|114=darkred|71=green|103=darkgreen|66=blue|98=darkblue|67=cyan|99=darkcyan|77=magenta|109=darkmagenta|89=yellow|121=darkyellow|87=white|119=darkwhite|68=grey</value>
<json>{"121":"darkyellow","119":"darkwhite","114":"darkred","109":"darkmagenta","103":"darkgreen","99":"darkcyan","98":"darkblue","89":"yellow","87":"white","82":"red","77":"magenta","71":"green","68":"grey","67":"cyan","66":"blue"}</json>
</var>

This is already reported in another thread. Database records within Regular Expression patterns are broken in v3.29. Should be another update later today.

Actually, nevermind, this is a different issue. But this is not going to be fixed. CMUD does not support the syntax:
@dbrec.%function...
The fact that $var = @colordb.%ascii("M") works is just a side effect that you got lucky with. You MUST use the %db function to do something like this. |
