Evaluation of #-sign #196112 09/03/08 11:04 PM

gencha G	In my script i have a list of identifier names that are supposed to be used to process messages a user writes. These identifiers fulfill purposed like nick-completion, replacing acronyms or replacing common typos. To illustrate, i have this alias in the script: Code: ; Applies a single input processor to the globally stored input text alias _applyProcessor { %g_inputText = $( $+( $, $1, %OPEN_PARANTHESIS, %g_inputTarget, %COMMA, %g_inputText, %CLOSE_PARANTHESIS ), 2 ) } I found it to be the best solution to take a string, turn it into an identifier and apply it. Sadly it needs $eval() (or $()), which results in unwanted behavior. Namely, it will replace the #-sign with the current channel name. I wonder how to get around that. And help ideas are appreciated

Code: alias _applyProcessor { %g_inputText = $replace($( $+( $, $1, %OPEN_PARANTHESIS, %g_inputTarget, %COMMA, $replace(%g_inputText,$(#,),$lf), %CLOSE_PARANTHESIS ), 2 ),$lf,$(#,)) } Whether this works perfectly will depend on what you're calling, what it does, and what it returns.

gencha G	Well, this is the first issue that popped up. Do you have a suggestion maybe?

gencha G	argv0 helped me solved this. This is the final solution: Code: alias _applyProcessor { %g_inputText = $( $+( $, $1, %OPEN_PARANTHESIS, %g_inputTarget, %COMMA, $( %g_inputText, 0 ), %CLOSE_PARANTHESIS ), 2 ) }
