I'm trying to revent control code and the box (contrl-k) symbol in the string. This sort of works, but not always:

var %userbio = $strip($replacex($gettok($6-,-1,35),
,),-burcmo)

$strip(%text) will remove ctrl+ b u r k o (asc: 2, 31, 22, 3, 15)

$strip(%text,b) will remove ctrl+b
$strip(%text,u) will remove ctrl+u

etc.

This works:

var %userbio = $strip($gettok($6-,-1,35))

but how do I strip out the  (multiple) that are left.

Try

In theory, what you have shouldn't have any of those control blocks in it, as the start and end control blocks for each part that is being stripped should be removed.

That doesnt work either. Also tried:

$remove(%userbio,
)

but that didnt work either.

Hi.

You need to ue the $chr(nr) off the character.
To know the nr off the $chr identifier you need to use $asc(character) them it will return a number... that number is to be used in $chr. Example:.



them $remove( text, $chr(nr))

good luck

I tried:

var %userbio = $strip($gettok($6-,-1,35))
var %userbio = $remove(%userbio,$chr(11))

but it's not removing the ctrl-k symbol.

$chr(11) is not the color control code.

ctrl+__

b= 2
u= 31
r= 22
k= 3
o= 15

Maybe the mutilated server you are on is using different control code characters.

It doesn't matter how F'd up the server is, as I'm extracting the infoline and trying to strip codes from with with mIRC.

11 is ctrl-k

As he tried to tell you, $chr(11) is NOT the color code!

Try doing:

//echo -s $asc(x)

where you us the ctrl-K in place of the X, and you'll see that it returns 3 and not 11. The color code before the color number is $chr(3) Ctrl-C not the Ctrl-K you entered. You'll find that Ctrl-U puts in a $chr(31) not the $chr(21) you'd expect, etc.

Well, THANK GOD you jumped in and clearified his post! We need more people like you! Have you considered cloning and/or DNA storage?
