Howdy, here's an example of some code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient [
<!ENTITY path "C:\Program Files\folder\program.exe" >
]>
[skipping standard stuff, alias, triggers, and timers..]
<script>
<![CDATA[
sub ShowPath (a,b,c)
dim path
path = GetEntity("path")
world.note path
end sub
This is a cut-dry version of the code I'm using, so ignore the simplicity. The problem is that the world.note sends a blank line - Why doesn't GetEntity respect the definition above?
There's a much easier way to do it by simply exiting the CDATA block briefly instead of using GetEntity. Excuse any errors in the code, this is quick and dirty.
Why dont you just note &path; and skip the variable all together?
GetEntity is designed for server entities (as in MXP), not plugin entities.
So it returns the empty string (since no entity by that name is found) and thus a blank line is noted.
As of next version (3.66) you'll be able to set server entities using SetEntity, but that still isn't relevant here.
Yes, you have to exit the CDATA block. Just wondering, GetEntity is VB, neh? Not MC, because I don't see world.GetEntity. Is that a valid VB call then, and if so, what does it do?
No, GetEntity is not a VB function (at least not according to the script docs).
Mushclient doesn't need 'world.' for everything, only execute (because that IS a VBScript command), everything else it just assumes (as of... well, whatever version).
