Forums Scripts & Popups Returning matched text on iswm

Hi there,

I was trying to return the word that actually matched the IF statement, but wasn't able to I tried a few $identifers, such as $ifmatch, $v1 and $v2, but nothing. I've also tried $matchkey, although I couldn't reproduce it's funcion nor understand it, based on the help file.

Eg:
alias test {
if (*test* iswm $$1-) { echo -ag * Yes: [color:red]<matched word> }
else { echo -ag * No }
}[/color]

If $$1- is 'This is me testing' then <matched word> should be 'testing'

Thanks,
Zyzzyx

Edit: thanks milosh - typo

How can $$1 be "'This is me testing"?

Typo there. The post has been edited, thanks

I know Just kidding
So:

Not tested!

lol :P

There is an /inc %i missing in the code, plus an $eval I think. I was actually looking for an identifier of some kind, because the script it is going to be used in already has its quota of loops.

lol? Don't expect help from me next time. There's probably many many of them that will help, so it's not some loss. I was just trying to give some ideas as fast as I can...
Note: If you know what's missing, good for you... add it by yourself.

alias test {
if ($matchtok($$1-,test,1,32)) echo -a Matched word: $v1
else echo -a nothing...
}

I tend to answer/reply the posts in the order they came..

Answer -> lol :P

<code></code> the result of the test I ran.

I don't look for fights in places people help other people, a thing that is becoming rare thing in these days.. Sorry if it cause any misunderstanding, I'll try to be clearer next time.

Sorry, friend.

Dont worry

I hadn't thought about $matchtok or $wildtok, thanks

It's perfectly possible for the parameter $1 to be filled with multiple tokens. It all depends on the delimiter.

//tokenize 44 one two,three four | echo -a $1 will show you "one two", which is actually 2 words.

.echo -q $test(This is me testing)
