Forums Feature Suggestions $puttok and $tokmatch

It would be nifty if $puttok would work like $replace, meaning you wouldnt have to do this

but just this


$tokmatch would work just like $ifmatch ($v1,$v2), but it would be for tokens. Example:

or

While not unusable, would there be a great demand to use this?
While your preposed example does actually cover something this does not you could use $puttok($deltok(a.s.d.f,2-4,46),1.2.3.4,1,46)

I do like how u allowed for different token seperators on each token and its replacement, If this came about I would expect a $puttokx to take effect only on the original string (although that might be a bit harder than i first thought about)

I would rather just see $puttok be able to uses ranged tokens such as $puttok(a.s.d.f,1.2.3.4,1-4,46) the string 1.2.3.4 is inserted to replace tokens 1 to 4, and just happens to be 4 tokens in this case.



I dont understand what you expect $tokmatch to hold above ?



Since $gettok returns a value and you would need to store that value somewhere anyway, I dont see the point of having a $tokmatch value that returns the same thing? Where would there be a need fior this in code? ex?


PS: Im not saying your idea is bad, just i cant see its use being high or needed all that much.

I thought about $puttokx, but it won't work because $puttok deals with tokens not specific strings.

The reason for $tokmatch is so you can recall a string after a token identifer used it. Just like in the second example I gave you, the string was erased and $tokmatch recalled it. It isn't the most useful thing ever, but it comes up every once and a while.

Is it something like this you had in mind?


$mputtok(a.s.d.f,1,1,46,2,2,46,3,3,46,4,4,46) returns 1.2.3.4

Well I would rather use a built in mIRC identifer.
