Instead of all of that, what about replacing the persons name with "" and then searching for double bars and replacing those with a single.

That solves the |name|. You'd end up with name1||name3 and that'd be replaced with name1|name3.

I suppose you'd have to check for a | on either end as well. Because name1|name2 would become |name2 or name1| which wouldn't work.

So, that would make it...

(assuming "search" is a VBscript variable for the thing to be searched for, and "list" is a vbscript variable of the list)

list = Replace(list,search,"")
list = Replace(list,"||","|")
If (Left(list,1) = "|")
list = Right(list,Len(list)-1)
End If
If (Right(list,1) = "|")
list = Left(list,Len(list)-1)
End If

Think that's right. Let me know if it isn't.

And oh, in Python the whole thing would've been:


strText = "Friend1|Friend2|Friend3|Friend4|Friend5"

def removeName(name): 
   arr = strText.split("|")
   if name in arr:
      return arr.remove(name).join("|")


Having tried to deal with strings in vbs, I just can't help but advertise ways to keep ones sanity intact.

It's quite a pain to do in vbscript actually, so the best suggestion would be to use a language with decent string operations, dynamic list support, and slicing, Python will do :) But it would go somewhere along those lines (not so sure about syntax):


dim strText
strText = "Friend1|Friend2|Friend3|Friend4|Friend5"

function removeName(strName)
dim arrName, found, ind, i, arrFinal()
arrName = split(strText, "|")
found = vbFalse
ind = 0

for each i in arrName do
   if i = strName then
      found = vbTrue
   end if
   if not found then
      Redim Preserve arrFinal(ind)
      arrFinal(ind) = i
      ind = ind + 1
   end if
next

removeName = join(arrFinal, "|")
end function


I give no guarantees that this will work at all, but don't have time to test it. The basic idea is to use a static array filled with actual names (using split()) and a dynamic array, which is gradually expanded to include all names from the first array except the one you want to exclude. Once the dynamic array is full, and we've reached the end of the static one, we join the dynamic array back into a "|" separated string and return it. But as vbscript sucks really badly for these sorts of operations, you might have to tweak it to get it to work.

Well after trying and not figuring this out for quite some time now, i would like to ask for an example of this, of how to remove someone from the list if someone would be so kind.

You'd have to search through to find the person, and then remove them.
You could either code your own search (to find your |'s) and then pattern match, and use mid to cut the string into thirds (before, after, and then your target name) and then splice the first two together.
Or, you can use split to make an array out of them, find the value, and then recompile that array back into a pipe seperated list.

Edit:
You dont need to code your own search, you can use InStr.

I meant, to assign each person somthing, like you have all the names it checks the name, and if they are on, to set them in a vairable with the job they do, or something like that the thing is to check the who see if someones on, then send a message back with all who are on with what they do.

blah tells you, "Merchwho."

You tell blah, "All merchants on right now and what they do are, Blah cook | Blah Smith." and so forth

Job... What do you mean?

But, yes, it is possible (even without really knowing what you mean). Just set the trigger to catch, and then note it. The trigger itself becomes a check (either it matches, or it doesnt).

While were on this subject, would it be possible to add a job to each name then check a who list to see if they are on or not, and if they are to display them on a note?

heres an example:

<variables>
<variable name="friendlist">bob|joe</variable>
</variables>

<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="14"
enabled="y"
expand_variables="y"
ignore_case="y"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="(@!friendlist)"
regexp="y"
repeat="y"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
</triggers>

that will match (and change color, so you know) on joe or bob (and since its a simple regexp, itll match on joey, or bobo, but you can change the trigger to reflect real words. But just insert (@!friendlist) in a trigger (regexp, and expand variables) and itll act as if that variable is inside the trigger itself.

Then you just append "|friendname" to the end of your variable list:
setvariable "friendlist", getvariable("friendlist" & "|%1")

Make a trigger (two, one for friends, one for enemies) that matches on "(@!enemylist)" and another that matches on "(@!friendlist)" then you need to make that trigger regexp, expandvariables, and change its color.

Then you make a second set of triggers to catch the channel (the one that blocks people) and then send this (to script):
setvariable "friendlist", getvariable("friendlist") & "|%#"

where %# is the %1 or whatever that the name is.
Do that for enemies too, but change friendlist to enemylist.

You'll need to start the variable, with just a name.

The variable should be in the format of this:
name1|name2|name3|name4
however long you need it to be.
