Combining Strings

[Ohmz]

Due to a bug/feature in the old MQ script it was possible to combine and build strings:

Code: Select all

/varset l0 "a"
/varset l1 "b"
/varset l0 "$l0$l1"
/echo $l0
...
[MacroQuest] ab

unfortunately doing this now results in:

Code: Select all

/declare _word local
/declare _char local
/varset _word "a"
/varset _char "b"
/varset _word "@_word@_char"
/echo @_word
...
[MacroQuest] @_wordb

Because PMP parses from right to left, it essentially sets _word to a variable that doesn't exist (@_wordb), this then results in _word being set to a string constant containing a non-exitant variable as opposed to a derefrenced variable.

A temporary solution

Code: Select all

/declare _word local
/declare _char local
/varset _word "a"
/varset _char "b"
/varset _word "$mid(0,$strlen("@_word"),"@_word")@_char"
/echo @_word
...
[MacroQuest] ab

Perhaps a /stradd <variable> <addition> would be good?

/varcat (?)
I'll write this after work...
