Creating dynamic triggers/subs.
|
Hi!
I want an alias that will dynamically create a bunch of trigger/substitutes, something along these lines:
#alias Test1 {
#repeat %numitems(@List1) {
Temp1=List1.%i
Temp2=List2.%i
#trigger @List1.%i @List1.%i {#sub @Temp1 @Temp2} {ClassName}
}
}
So, for example, List1="big dwarf", List2="Tony", whenever I encounter big dwarf I want to sub him into big dwarf Tony. It indeed creates a trigger with a pattern of "big dwarf", but an action is "#sub @Temp1 @Temp2", while I want it to be "#sub big dwarf Tony". How do I do that?
Thanks in advance,
r. |

I had a similar problem working with #GAUGE not long ago that was solved by using #EXEC %concat(). Thus:
| Code: |
| #EXEC %concat("#trigger ",@List1.%i," ",@List1.%i," {#sub ",@Temp1," ",@Temp2"} {ClassName}") |
I ran into troubles because I had parenthesis in the quotes and it messed with the parser, so I had to use %char() for those... if the parser doesn't like the braces, for example, you can do #ECHO %ascii("{") from the command line to discover that the ascii code for open brace is 123, and put %char(123) into the %concat line above. (You can, of course, just use any ascii chart for the numerical equivalences, but it's much easier imho to just use the tools at hand.) |
