I'm trying to write an alias to echo a line from a text file depending on what parameters I give it. The text file looks like this:
10-0 Use caution
10-1 Unable to copy location
10-2 Signal Good
10-3 Stop transmitting
For example, I'd like to type /ten 3 and have it echo "10-3 Stop transmitting". I've tried this but it isn't working.
/ten {
echo -a $read(ten.txt,w, $matchtok($1-, 10, 1,32) $+ *)
}

/ten {
if ($1 isnum) {
var %linenum = $calc($1 + 1)
var %text = $read(ten.txt, %linenum)
echo -a Warning: %text
}
else echo -a Choose a number you fool!
} It first checks if you supply a number. Then it reads the line with that number + 1, so you need to have 10-0 Use Caution on line 1 in the file, 10-1 Unable to copy location on line 2 and so on. Note: Haven't tested it.. But i think it should work like that :P

Thanks, that works partially. I have some problems with it. I typed /ten 76 and I got the line for 10-75. I also typed /ten 77 and got the line for 10-76. I checked the file and they're all number sequentially up to that point at least, so it's not the text file throwing it off.

No, it looks like it gave the line for the code I wanted - 1, example, I wanted 10-76 and it gave me 10-75.

Are you sure you're not missing 2 somewhere?
Does this also show for /ten 4 as example?

I just figured something out. This does what I want.
/ten {
var %scan = 10- $+ $1
echo -a $read(ten.txt,s,%scan)
}

scannign for the match is a much better way of managing it as there might be no x code or line that matches the code you are looking for, or might have a line missing or be other text in the file before the codes.
you might want to throw up a if $2 > maxtencodes echo no such code
or similar.

Try this little code. I don't have the 10 codes in a text file, so I haven't tested this, but I don't see any reason for it to not work alias ten {
set %code $iif($read(ten.txt,nw,$+(10-,$1,*)),$v1,No code match)
$iif($isid,return,echo -a) %code
}
Usage: $ten(<ten_code>) or /ten <ten_code>
