Forums Scripts & Popups Why isin't this working?

test {
var %x = 1
while (%x <= $len($1-)) {
var %y = %y $+ (- $+ $mid($1-,%x,1) $+ -)
inc %x
} return %y
}

//echo -a $test(testing)
It only echo's the first letter and not the whole word.
I don't know why

Help me plz

"return %y" should be on a new line.

Daimn,that was so simple and I din't found it
TY

In addition to Nimue's fix, I'd suggest these changes as well because they say what you mean.
This version allows for spaces by first replacing spaces with a hard space, then reversing the process at the end.

Using the $mid() as your while condition allows you to use $ifmatch which will hold the character found. You don't need to keep recomputing $len($1-) and then comparing that to whatever %x is. If the $mid() returns a character, then you can process that character (the $ifmatch). If you were going to use the length of the string for something else, then using $len() would be reasonable, but you're not and don't need it.

//var %text = Testing this, ok? | echo -a $testing(%text)
(-t-)(-e-)(-s-)(-t-)(-i-)(-n-)(-g-)(- -)(-t-)(-h-)(-i-)(-s-)(-,-)(- -)(-o-)(-k-)(-?-)

There's no need to replace spaces, as they are being enclosed in (- -). Ccontrol codes will skew the result

You wouldnt by chance be trying to make a mode parse'r, i just finished mine, and also some mode settings based on char lengths and what not. :P
