Help witch gsub plz guys....

[NightLitch]

This is my single catching [VAL] code:

function Lang(string,value1)
		lang=gsub(string,"%b[]", value1)
	return lang
end

how do I make it catch all the [] in a sentence ???

ex:

Hello [USER] your IP is [IP] and you are sharing [SHARE]

how will this be done in above code.

help me out plz.

Noob on gsub.

/NL

[kepp]

i have no idea what you mean but ?

data = gsub(data,"%b[USER]",value1)
data = gsub(data,"%b[IP]",value2)
data = gsub(data,"%b[SHARE]",value3)

Plop, Wombat, Tezlo, Chilla could you guys help me...

Kepp's sol. didn't work so good.

wanna get this working but don't know a thing about gsub.

plz / NL

[c h i l l a]

one way , stripped from LIS

no there are many ways ;).

kepp's only need s alittle modifing to works, well it works depending on what purpose

[kepp]

well i think the problem is that
you have let's say a line like this

LINE = "Hello [USER], Your IP is [IP], and you are sharing [SHARE]"

value = user.sName
value1 = user.sIP

You grab the user's Share and set that to value2..

LINE = gsub(LINE,"[USER]",value)
print(LINE)

Output : Hello user.sName, Your IP is [IP], and you are sharing [SHARE]

and you do like that till you catch all of them, might be some easier way..
I've never actually dealt with gsub so much :)

[c h i l l a]

or

LINE = gsub(LINE,"%[USER%]",value)

depending on the purpose ;)

[tezlo]

or..

welcomemsg = " hey [username] ([userip]) you are sharing [usershare]b"

uservars = {
	username = function(user)
		return user.sName
	end,
	userip = function(user)
		return user.sIP
	end,
	usershare = function(user)
		local s, e, share = strfind(user.sMyInfoString, "%$(%d+)%$%|$")
		return s and tonumber(share)
	end,
	-- and so on
}

function dolang(user, str)
	str = gsub(str, "%[(%a+)%]", function(id)
		local func = uservars[id]
		if func then
			return func(%user)
		else
			return id
		end
	end); return str
end

function NewUserConnected(user)
	user:SendData(dolang(user, welcomemsg))
end

Thx tezlo, but don't get all.

The function should be for all my text its not only for "user" could be for ex. my userinfo to. how do I make this right. with my above code.

Your code looked like I could use.

Will try it when I come home from my parents.

But more about gsub guys plz. Everything is good.

more more more.... :-) plz...

Isnt it so, that gsub only can replace one value at a time?
My guess is that you had to use strfind, and then substitute each value with gsub.
Only my two cent :))

[tezlo]

manual reads..
gsub (s, pat, repl [, n])
Returns a copy of s in which all occurrences of the pattern pat have been replaced by a replacement string specified by repl.

nl.. just make a function for it in uservars

[VidFamne]

Yepp, you are right, as usual. :)
Forgotten how powerful gsub is.
Sorry for my interference.

[plop]

check crazy bot and the next example (which is a mod from a piece of crazy).

OutputString = gsub(InputString, "(%S+)", function(word) return replace(word) end)

function Replace(word)
   if TableWichHoldsWhatYouWannaReplace[word] then
      word = TableWichHoldsWhatYouWannaReplace[word]
   end
   return word
end

with this you can replace every word in a string 1 by 1.

check the hint i gave for NL, works for U 2.
my guess it that you now use a seperate gsub for everything you want 2 replace.
by using a function u can make that into 1.

[Skrollster]

I have realy forgotten how powerfull this language can be...

thank you tezlo for refreshing my mind :)

[NightLitch]

My solusion for my problem.

function Arg(str,val1,line1,val2,line2,val3,line3,val4,line4,val5,line5)
	if line1 and val1 then str = gsub(str,"%b["..line1.."]",val1) end
	if line2 and val2 then str = gsub(str,"%b["..line2.."]",val2) end
	if line3 and val3 then str = gsub(str,"%b["..line3.."]",val3) end
	if line4 and val4 then str = gsub(str,"%b["..line4.."]",val4) end
	if line5 and val5 then str = gsub(str,"%b["..line5.."]",val5) end
	return str
end

Is find this easy. Ok there is some "writings" but that it always will be.

Thx for all the help / NL
