Forums mIRC Help hash tables

Not sure if this question belongs here or in script help but.
Is it possible to add text in a dialog edit box to a hash table using a button in the same dialog? I have never done this before so it really has me stumped... will i need mdx, because i would prefer not to use it.
Thanks

Sorry to make this difficult for you but , <item> ?

Yes, from /help hash tables:



eg. /hadd -m test 1 2, "test" is the name, "1" is the item and "2" is the data.

So item would be the specific data i am actually trying to add....... the text in the editbox.... so i would have to do something like using a local variable to set the value of the text in the editbox?..... i really am sorry to put you through this tidy_trax..... and thanks for the help!

No. "name", "item" and "data" can be whatever you like.

Let's imagine:

You have a dialog called "modes", the button id is "1" and the edit id is "2".
The editbox contains a channel key for the active channel, you could use something like this:

The above code will create a hash table called..

#Channel for example.
#Channel will have 1 item called channelkey, with a value of whatever is in your editbox.

To get our data we use $hget(#Channel,channelkey) for example.

ooooh..... i got it now ....... thanks a lot!

I haven't tried the following but apparently you can modify, create, rename hash tables with this addon.

Hope it helps.

ADDON???
Bad man! Im trying to avoid addons .... tired of relying on thirdparty addons to make things happen that mIRC does on its own.
But i did find my problem and have it all working pefectly now. Thanks for the help guys!!

What do you mean? That addon IS mIRC script doing things on its own. It doesn't use any dll, and is pure mIRC scripting.

I understand where you're coming from, I don't use any full script or anything.

However, I actually use such hash table viewing addon myself, since it's simply easy to get a quick view of information about your hash tables currently loaded, without having to script the whole thing yourself.

Sorry...... didnt look at it .....
New question though .... i want to find or compare a variable against the hash table , but not by item, but value.......
/hadd -m <table name> <item name> <data>
So i need to locate by the data part and not the item name.
If you need to see what i have so far just ask.

If you want to match it: $hfind(table,<match>,1).data
If it's a wildcard match: $hfind(table,<*match*>,1,w).data
