Forums Scripts & Popups Editbox Question

Hello,

I was trying to write to a text file some information, but it seems when combined with an editbox for some reason, the output does not show returns/spacing between text.

Example:


output in txt file:
1|Buggs2008|problem1 line1|solution1 line1

---------------------------------------------
Given in editbox1:
---------------------------------------------
problem1 line1

problem2 line

---------------------------------------------
Given in editbox2:
---------------------------------------------
solution1 line1

solution2 line2


Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks a bunch

1) You don't have the character code for blank lines being written to the text file, so there's nothing to tell mIRC that there are supposed to be blank lines in the output.
1a) Use $crlf to give a blank line
2) The usage of $chr(124) will show as the | character, unless the p switch is used in the $read identifier.
From the help file

Is there anyway to grab everything inside a did(15).text ?

even if theres a space in between lines? and output it ?

Something like a while loop?

var %a = 1
while (%a <= $did(12).text ) {
write " $+ $scriptdir $+ info.txt" %a
dec %a
}

a while loop through $did(12,%a) from %a = 1 to $did(12).lines, that way you can handle each line individually, and refer to the %a-th lines of other editboxes too

or $didtok(12,C) where C is the ASCII value of the line separator. eg. $didtok(12,32) returns all the lines separated by $chr(32), a space. i don't think you'll find much use for $didtok() here, but it's worth knowing
