Forums Scripts & Popups $read help kind of..

hey, i need help!
not really with $read but with the text $read holds

i am using $read while looping through a file and if certain words apeer in the file (there will be about 5 in each line)
like
{\bla} < in that form
but there are more brackets for the other codes >_<
i need it to input each time this certain part is in a line

and if there are more than one i need it to input each time after

hope you understand



thanks cya

lol, come again in plain english this time please?

I dont know what you mean by you want it to input ?

If you want to replace {\bla} with someother text just use $replacex(%text,{\bla},some other text)
If you need to do something else for each occurance of it in a string then
var %i = $pos(%text,{\bla},0)
while (%i) {
; your code here , $pos(%text,{\bla},%i) well be the location of an occurance of {\bla} in the string, as %i counts down its doing the last occurance first
dec %i
}

lol >_<
im no good at explaining but here i go...

i want it like you said here
$pos(%text,{\bla},%i)
but {\bla would have a number after it then the end }
the numbers are different everytime so
i really need to add a wildcard part in thier for the number

any ideas

and thanks alot for the reply

$pos() looks for whatever string you put there. so just use {\bla, without the trailing }, as the string to find.
//var %text = word {\bla1} crud {\bla8},%i = 1 | while $pos(%text,{\bla,%i) { echo -a $mid(%text,$calc($v1 +5),1) | inc %i }

In $calc($v1 +5) the 5 is "{\bla" being 5 chars to grab the next char.

ahh ^^ nice
thankyou
