Title: Problem with gsub!
Post by: Corayzon on 23 March, 2004, 04:55:16

im just having some probs with the gsub function...it works and then it dont...what is going on?

working example:-
function Main()
   local sString = "hello #u welcome to: #h!!! Have a nice stay"
   local sHubName = "Some Hub"
   local sUserName = "someone"
   sOut, x = gsub(sString, "#u", sUserName)
   sOut, x = gsub(sOut, "#h", sHubName)
   SendToAll("heelo", sOut.." - "..x)
end

return == " hello someone welcome to: Some Hub!!! Have a nice stay - 1"

and the one that sometimes works:-
function convertKickString(sIn, kicker, kicked, reason)
   sIn, x = gsub(sIn, "#u", kicked.sName)
   sIn, x = gsub(sIn, "#e", kicker.sName)
   if strfind(sIn, "#r") then sIn, x = gsub(sIn, "#r", reason) end
   return sIn
end

any ideas guys?

Code Select

--	#u	- UserName
--	#h	- HubName
--	#e	- extra
--	#x	- extra

sBot = "BotName"

function Main()
	translateString("#u has been kicked by #e because: #x", "somedude", "Corayzon", "get lost man!")
end

function translateString(sString, sUserName, e, x)

	-- System Strings
	sString, _ = gsub(sString, "#h", frmHub:GetHubName())

	-- Input Strings
	sString, _ = gsub(sString, "#u", sUserName)
	sString, _ = gsub(sString, "#e", e)
	sString, _ = gsub(sString, "#x", x)
	SendToAll(sBot, sString)

end
