i have a hash table,
and i wanted to add an item which is more than 1 word
eg
/hadd tablename the item here value of the item here
but when i type
//echo $hget(tablename,item here)
it does nothing
and when i type
//echo $hget(tablename,item)
it would echo here value here

pls help me thanks alot

You can't have spaces in hash table entry name. What you can do to overcome the problem really depends on what you're doing and why you want it like this.
Why don't you $replace $chr(32) with another character or even $remove it from the name?

so if i added different charecters for the spaces
would i be able to change the back easy enough
i need a ctcp script at the end of it
so when someone types
/ctcp me the command here
it will look in the hash table
for
the*command*here*
and ctcp reply the nick with the value
of
the*command*here

thanks for the help


edit:
the code i just tried but it didnt work:
ctcp *:*:?: {
var %triggerz = $replace($1-,$chr(32),$chr(1))
if ($hget(tablename,%triggerz) {
ctcpreply $nick yourctcp $hget(tablename,%triggerz)
}
}

pls help
:P
thanks

That should work.

This is the same...Don't forget to change tablename to the actual tablename

I get around this by doing this sort of thing:



adding a . between $1 and $2, effectively giving $1 as section and $2 as entry, $3- as entry data.

Perhaps he wants more than $1-2 in the name...

You don't really have to change it back! All you want is to get the corresponing value in the hash table! You just want something to match he sentence!

If your and Iori's solutions don't work, use $hash identifier like this:
if $hget( tablename , $hash($1-,16) ) { ... }

$hash is usually used for longer lines but it'll do in your case too! Just make sure the other solution doesn't really work (though it should) because it is better!

cool thanks alot everyone
for all the replies
ill see if i can get it to work
:P
thanks again

cool it works great
but it also says invalid ctcp command
any way to stop it from this
and thanks for making it work
