Database issue
|
I am trying to create a nice database of the armours on 3k (the mud i play on) .. and I need a little help.
I need the following values to be saved in a variable (system, or user-defined) so that i can report it back out to the mud, when friends ask
1) How can i save the total number of items in the database into a variable?
2) when i use #QUERY or #FIND how can i save the total amount of results to a variable?
3) how can i save the record number of a specified record to a variable?

hmm, couple people have looked at this, but no one has responded. maybe my wording is a little confusing?
all i want is a way to set
#VAR total_items_in_database %1
#VAR total_items_in_query %1
#VAR record_number_of_item_queried %1
how can i define each of these vars?
thanks for the help.

1. #VAR numrecords %numrec()
2. Instead of using #QUERY and #FIND, use %query and %find. Then, you can do:
#VAR numfinds %numitems(%find("blue"))
3. Again, use %query and %find, these return the record number of each record that matches the criteria.
