how can i strip a %variable for just 1 part of it?

%tmpchan#channel

i want to strip out #channel ..
then echo that part to me..
but the channel are diffrent every time..
anyone that know a simple way ?

Do you mean you want to return a part of the variable's name? Or did I misunderstand the question?

I want to return #channel <<-- the %variable should be removed..

Hmm.. if you know the variable's name, you can use:
Eg.: %var#channel is the variable's name.

$right($eval(%var#channel,0),-4) - and this will return #channel.

If you dont know its name (thus, its length), you can use $gettok:

$gettok($eval(%var#channel,0),2,35) - and this will return the 2nd token on the variable's name, which is #channel (without the #, keep that in mind).

I hope I was able to understand

thnx i try that one

Nope

echo -a $gettok($eval(%variable,0),2,35)

returns: * /echo: insufficient parameters (line 20, script.ini)

and if i let #channel be there it returns only that one, not the
channel set as %variable :tongue:

You can use $var(%tmpchan#*,N) to return the name of the Nth variable matching the wildmatch %tmpchan#* and consequently return the channel using $gettok:

$chr(35) $+ $gettok($var(%tmpchan#*,N),2-,35)

Edit: missed your replies, though you might want to use 2- within the $gettok as I've shown in case # exists inside the channel name

Tell me if it works

Sigh: using 2- in $gettok is a good idea

Sigh:


%var#testing
%var#testing2

and if i use your code it only reply the first channel..
and if i trying to loop it, then it still only return the first channel to me.. not the seccond one.. :tongue: and i maybe have 10 channels set as %var#channel .. :tongue:

$right($eval(%var#channel,0),-4)
With the code above I can return the channel in the variable. The -4 must be changed to the number of characters in the variable that are *not* the #channel name.
Eg:
%var#channel --> -4
%variable#channel ---> -9

About the loop.. you can try something like this: On the code above you can change:
- the alias name (I couldn't come up with a more interesting name :P);
- the variable name - without the #channel name (= the part you want to omit);
- the command you wish to perform:
- the -4 should be replaced with the number of "omission" (see the explanation on the top of the post)

Remember that the variable's name must be the same in order of that loop to work. Meaning you should have this in your variables list:
Eg:
%var#home
%var#foobar
%var#james
%var#office

I tested here and it works as it should. Hope this helps

thnx that working with som modifying.. the code works just fine, but it wont echo the way i want it to

1 last question about this, how can i get my own stat on the channel ??

if ($me isop $right($var(%var*,%i),-4))

returns a error.. but it should be able to read that. if i am on the channel and im oped, then it should return that ?

Cool - Over here it echos like this:

#home
#foobar
#james
#office

I don't know how you wanted it to echo, but if it's working, that's good

ne1 that have any idea about the last part ?

The if ($me isop $right($var(%var*,%i),-4)) works fine here, using v6.16
