STRCMPI & VAR - pinku - 11-07-2013 06:04 PM

Long story short,

Created a thread for something else, now I can't get something else to work:

Code:
IF ((<SRC.TAG.MYTAG> == 01) && (<EVAL <SRC.TAG.MYTAG2>> > <VAR.RECORD1>))
VAR.RECORD1=<SRC.TAG.MYTAG2>
VAR.RECORDER1=<SRC.NAME>

So, to set a new second record, you must NOT be Recorder1 and have more points than RECORD2.

Then...

Code:
ELSEIF ((<SRC.TAG.MYTAG> == 01) && (<EVAL <SRC.TAG.MYTAG2>> > <VAR.RECORD2>) && !(STRCMPI("<SRC.NAME>","<EVAL <VAR.RECORDER1>>"))

VAR.RECORD2=<SRC.TAG.MYTAG2>
VAR.RECORDER2=<SRC.NAME>

Code:
Error: Undefined symbol 'Name'

If I don't EVAL the VAR, a higher pointer can take all records.. Record1, Record2, Record3...
In the end, STRCMPI doesn't seem to work in this case... Any suggestions on how I can compare the character name to a stored name in a VAR?

Even though I have the MYTAG2 higher than the RECORD2, it doesn't seem to work...

Suggestions?

Edit:

Also tried

Code:
ELSEIF ((<SRC.TAG.MYTAG> == 01) && (<EVAL <SRC.TAG.MYTAG2>> > <VAR.RECORD2>) && (!STRMATCH("<SRC.NAME>","<EVAL <VAR.RECORDER1>>"))

Same error:

Code:
Error: Undefined symbol 'Name'

PS: This is an older method I was using, but I am curious.. Trying to make it work anyway.
I am now -trying- to use the list method RanXerox told me. Smile

Thanks everyone.

First suggestion - store uids, turing an uid into name is easier than name into uid...
Second - STRMATCH(<src.name>,<uid.<var.recorder1>.name>) if uid stored
or STRMATCH(<src.name>,<var.recorder1>).

<uid.<var.recorder1>.name> worked just fine for me.
Much better now.

Thank you very much, Alaric!

also note of point....


strmatch and strcmpi are for strings, eval is for integers, so an eval in a strcmpi or strmatch arguement is not valid
