Forums Bug Reports /bset

if i have not understood it wrong, /bset -t &binvar 1 97
would add the value 97 to the &binvar, and not evaluate it to its ascii value.

but i have not gotten this to work:
//bset -t &binvar 1 97 | echo -a $bvar(&binvar,1,1000)
gives me "57 55" which is the ascii values of 9 and 7. is this a bug or have i just missunderstood it?

-t makes /bset treat everything after the N as plain text. That means 97 is treated as the string "97", so &binvar contains two bytes/characters with the ascii values 57 and 55. If you want specify ascii values instead of plain text in /bset, just lose -t.

Yes, those are the ascii values of 9 and 7, and thats exactly what you told it to do. If I understand what you're saying,
//bset -t &binvar 1 97 | echo -a $bvar(&binvar,1,1000).text
is what you want.

//bset &binvar 1 97 | echo -a * $bvar(&binvar,1-).text

* a
