using %1 %2
|
Hi,
I got probably simple problem.
I had cmud 2.34 and alias like this worked well.
And after i changed to 3.34 this things stop to work
#alias gbp {get %1 %2.bp}
example:
gbp bracer 1 should do -> get bracer 1.bp
it showing now:
get bracer -> You do not see bracer here.
So it missing 1.bp somehow.
this not works and tried many option and not working.
and aliases like
#alias er {enter %1.rift} not works as well
with %1 working like this:
er 1 should do -> enter 1.rift
it showing now
enter -> You can't seem to find anything to enter.
So it missing 1.rift
what am i missing? |

Change it to:
#alias gbp {get %1 {%2}.bp} |

@Rahab: That doesn't work. Not sure why, but it says there's an extra } brace, whether you try to paste it in on the command line or make an alias manually and then try to run it. Possible bug here?
@klerindias: The problem is actually that the function of the dot changed when database variables were rewritten. Your code is looking for a 'bp' or a 'rift' key in %1, and not finding it, so it expands to null. If you want a literal dot, you need to enclose it in quotes. |

so i did:
get %1 {%2}.bp
and:
i write
gbp bracer 1 -> (it sending) get %1 {%2}.bp
result:
You do not see or have the {%2}.bp.
in compile tab saying error:
Error compiling script:
extra } brace |

So how this alias should looks like? |

Try this:
| Code: |
| #alias gbp {#send {"get "%1" "%2".bp"}} |
Just get %1 %2"."bp would technically be enough (it's only the dot that you need to force to be a literal) but it's generally good practice to put quotes around anything that you want to be a literal string. |

When i do:
#alias lh {exa %1.hole}
it not works like i showed above
but when i used it just once and replace %1 with %0 it works.
Problem is just when you use more than 1.
#alias lh {exa %0.hole} works
so for the future for people they must just change where they use more than 1 parameter need use quotes
with just 1 parameter enough to change to %0.
If im mistaken somone please check me. |

Ultimately, the problem is with implicit concatenation. As Daern indicated, a dot and text following a numeral now looks like database variable reference.
In general, the most thorough solution to problems with implicit concatentation is to turn it into explicit concatenation:
| Code: |
#alias gbp {#SEND %concat("get ",%1, " ", %2, ".bp")}
#alias lh {#SEND %concat("exa ", %1, ".hole")}
|
