Gm Syntax Questions

[Gan]

I will post random syntax questions here at random times.

If you have a variable of:
"Hello my name is Gandolf."

How would you change the spaces to:
"Hello%my%name%is%Gandolf."

Then how would you change those back to spaces?

Also, is there a way to get a certain word from a string?

Like get purple from:
"green;yellow;red;purple;


Thanks

P.S. In the text field, how would you write text a line down?
Like: print $line1$$ + $line2$$

Ahh, maybe I can help:

Make x = 1, then if x = 1 on saying that string, print a % where x would be. So it would look like:

PRINT "Hello""x""my""x""name"... etc

I'm not sure if this would do it, as I'm not the best GM programmer in the world. I've gotta catch up on that.

Thats not exactly how it will work.

Code: [Select]

The player types a message... "Hi there!"

The message gets converted to "Hi%there!"

Message gets saved on Php.

Message received on Gm as "Hi%there!"

Message converted back to "Hi there!"

Message is printed.

Also, is there a way to get a certain word from a string?

' Convert " " to "%"
a$ = "Hello. My name is Al."
PRINT $a$$

x = 0
c$ = ""
REPEAT
  x = x + 1
  b$ = WORD$ a$ x
  IF b$ = a$ THEN EXIT REPEAT
  IF b$ = "" THEN EXIT REPEAT
  IF c$ <> "" THEN
    c$ = c$ + "%"
  END IF
  c$ = c$ + b$
END REPEAT

PRINT $c$$

' ----------

' Convert "%" to " "
' a$ = "Hello. My name is Al."
PRINT

a$ = c$
PRINT $a$$
x = 0
lenth = LEN a$

REPEAT
x = x + 1
b$ = MID$ a$ x 1
IF b$ = "%" THEN
  x = x - 1
  c$ = LEFT$ a$ x
  c$ = c$ + " "
  x = x + 2
  d$ = MID$ a$ X
  a$ = c$
  a$ = a$ + d$
ELSE
  c$ = a$
END IF
IF x => lenth THEN EXIT REPEAT
END REPEAT

PRINT $c$$

In the text field, how would you write text a line down?
Like: print $line1$$ + $line2$$

If you want it all on one line then use a semicolon
PRINT $line1$$;
PRINT $line2$$

Looks like you guys are coming along with this! Nice stuff!

Thanks. Also, If I had a string as "Gandolf: Hello^George: Hi"
 
How would I cut the line in half and print it as:
 
Gandolf: Hello
George: Hi

I believe this would work:  var1$ = WORD$ var2$ x

Though if instead of spaces, I had ":" would it work?

Hey Al, the code you wrote doesn't work:

' Convert " " to "%"
a$ = "Hello. My name is Al."
PRINT $a$$
 
x = 0
c$ = ""
REPEAT
  x = x + 1
  b$ = WORD$ a$ x
  IF b$ = a$ THEN EXIT REPEAT
  IF b$ = "" THEN EXIT REPEAT
  IF c$ <> "" THEN
    c$ = c$ + "%"
  END IF
  c$ = c$ + b$
END REPEAT
 
PRINT $c$$

Nevermind. It works.
