Forums Scripts & Popups Hash Table Question

Hi all,

quick question for you,

how do you check to see wether or not a hash table exists or not and if it does exist I would like to clear all the data in there.

Thanks a bunch

Cheers

Jay

$hget(Table) would return the table name if it is true, or if it doesn't exist, it'll return $null.

You could use if ($hget(Table)) .hfree Table

Thanks for the quick reply.

Cheers,

Jay

Just remember that using the /hfree command not only removes the data from the table, but it also removes the table from memory, so you need to re-create it before you use it again.

You have two choices here. You can either use /hdel to only delete the item and data, which retains the hash table, or use /hadd -m to re-make your hash tables. Also, there are addons out there that you can install to check, edit and delete your hash tables at ease.
