Forums Bug Reports $count

//echo > $count(hello there,$chr(32))

someone has probably already reported this, but to be on the safe side..

if there are more than one space in a text, it still only counts 1...

All cases of spaces, except if it is the terminating character (last character) are counter... Could you show an instance where this is proven otherwise?

I think he means like "test test2" but I haven't tested...

To which you're referring "text<space><space>moretext" ? Just attepted it..

I first type:
/set %test text<space><space>text
then i typed
/echo > $count(%test, $chr(32))
output:
> 2

hmm, it was like i thought.. html couldnt handle more than one space.. well..

$count(<space><space><space>,$chr(32)) SHOULD return 3, but only returns 1..

though in the other hand $count(aaa,a) returns 3..

thats what i ment.. sorry if i was unclear..

Well actually, consider mirc just like html. Any additional "whitespace" is just voiced. I mean its like having the decimal 0.10000000 or 0.1 Both mean exactly the same, so why keep the extended spaces.. Thats alteast the outlook of it anyways.

also echo $count($chr(44)$chr(32)$chr(32),$chr(32)) returns 0 basically it only defines a space if it is presant in the begining and only defines it as being one no matter how many u have there
eg
echo $count($chr(44)$chr(32)$chr(32)$chr(44),$chr(32)) returns 0
eg
echo $count($chr(44)$chr(32)$chr(32)$chr(44),$chr(44)) returns only 1
actually this brings a whole new thing to show that the entire $count itself does infact have a major flaw in it

Actually it doesn't, you do :P You forgot $+

//echo -a $chr(44)$chr(32)$chr(32)$chr(44)

prints , therefore $count was correct.

$count($chr(44) $+ $chr(32) $+ $chr(32) $+ $chr(44),$chr(32))

That will correctly return 2

again i stand corrected ty ..... overlooked that lil thing

What else besides $count can handle double spaces? I didn't even think this was possible, so much mirc code simply can't deal with a double space....

Actually only /commands cannot handle double spaces. All identifiers (built-in or custom) and variables can. Of course the spaces shouldn't be typed literally in the code, you need to use $chr(32) or something like $remove(a a a,a) etc.

$str($chr(32),2) :P
