/explode - Split text

By Jonesy44 on Apr 13, 2009

Introduction Updated, new $explode feature.
Serves the same purpose as the PHP explode() function.
Syntax:

/explode /explode [charval_to_seperate] [text_to_explode]
-- exploded text is set to %explode with /explode
$explode(text_to_explode).charval_to_seperate
-- exploded text returned if $explode is used

; -------------------------------
; Improved Regsubex version
alias explode {
  ; syntax:/explode [charval_to_seperate] [text_to_explode] 
  ;     or: $explode(text_to_explode).Charval_to_seperate
  ;   exploded text is set to %explode with /explode
  ;   exploded text returned if $explode is used
  ; ---
  var %tx = $iif($isid,$1-,$2-), %cn = $iif($isid,$prop,$1)
  if (%cn !isnum 1-255) $iif($isid,return,echo -a) 2* $+($iif($isid,$,/),explode:) error. invalid paramaters
  else $iif($isid,return,set %explode) $left($regsubex(%tx,/(.)/g,$+(\t,$chr(%cn))),-1)
}

; OLD EXPIRED VERSION - HERE FOR REFERENCE
; --------------------------
; While loop version
alias explode {
  ; syntax:/explode [text_to_explode] [charval_to_seperate]
  ; exploded text is set to %explode
  ; ---
  if ($gettok($1-,$0,32) !isnum 1-255) { echo -a 2* /explode: error syntax:/explode texttoexplode [chrvaltoseperate] }
  unset %explode | var %x = 1
  while (%x <= $len($1)) { set %explode %explode $+($mid($1,%x,1),$chr($gettok($1-,$0,32))) | inc %x }
}

Oh i thought it litrally split the text up like the pphp does into arrays but all it seems to be doing for me is putting in aload of spaces (and because i wanted to separate -) and aload of - in there too.

Serves the same purpose as the PHP explode() function.

What i usually use the explode function on php is to split a sting into chunks into an array using the character you specify, kind of like tokenize in mirc.

And i just realised, why the fudge dont i just use tokenize

Use the regsub version. It's much faster. Glad to help.

Hehe explode() was one of the first things I pissed around with when I was first learning PHP cause I wanted to replicate tokens in mIRC.

Respond

Jonesy44 - May 04, 2009

Problem fixed. the gettok, is so the last token is always selected rather than just the second token because the command "/explode explode this text 44" would not work otherwise

Seems to separate by a space no matter what. And I think the $gettok($1,$0,32) should just be $2. Could see a few places I would use it.

Testor: A charval is a character ASCII value. check help files "$chr" and "$asc". For example the character value for a space is 32.

bone282: Yeah it's a shame it can't be expanded into a better language since it's so simple to learn, has a great help manual etc.

first off: PHP is a scripting lang. (just like mIRC)

second off: PHP is very bad. (it gets you into a scripting pattern) :(

third off: bone282: I find the word you used for a womens breast inappropriate. Even tho I am a (straight) guy.

of course, it's the main other language i use, even though i hardly do it these days.
I used to code mIRC a long time ago. but, i really don't see the point in applying all that time and effort into a language thats of no use outside of mIRCLAND. Thats just my opinion though. Not trying to get on anyones tits. :P
