Scripting: obj.getstringkeys(str)

[Chompy]

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  array = {"item1", "item2"};
  for(item : array.getstringkeys("item"))
    echo(item);
} 


Could be nice to do something like this

if you need that functionality you can use my associative array: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=68643

huh?
Which function?

[JkWhoSaysNi]

It's a class for an associative array data structure. All it does really is map two arrays to each other.

{key1, key2}
{value1, value2}

all array.item(key1) does is find the index of key1 (in this case zero) and return the value at the same index (value1).

I provided functionality for looping through which is in the example usage.

[Chompy]

I don't see how this helps me

I want to do something like:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  array = {"foo1", "foo2", "bar1", "foo3", "baz1"};
  for(item : array.getstringkeys("foo"))
    echo(item);
} 


which would produce

1
2
3

Instead of making a public function for it

If your class can do that, please give me an example?

.pos()?

Good point, though I guess you can do something like:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  array = {"foo1", "foo2", "bar1", "foo3", "baz1"};
  for(item : array.size())
    if (array[item].pos("foo")>-1) echo(item);
} 


Hmm, as for the suggestion, I think it's good. Of course I think anything that benefits in someway and makes things easier is a good idea. Though many seem to think if it's possible to work around there's no need to make such an addition. Phooey.

[JkWhoSaysNi]

oh, i see. Nevermind, i thought you meant something else.

You could do something like:

PHP Code:

array = {"foo1", "foo2", "bar1", "foo3", "baz1"};

for (i = 0;i<=array.size()-1;i++) {
if (array[i].starts("foo")) {
echo(i);
}
}

Use Dustys version!

for (temp.currentArray: array)
{
  if (temp.currentArray.pos("foo") >= 0)
  {
    soforth
  }
}

Although, I wouldn't mind it being added too.

[JkWhoSaysNi]

Yeah, but then to echo 1,2,3 you have to create a counter anyway or then do array.index(temp.currentarray);

no.

for (temp.currentArray: array)
{
  if (temp.currentArray.pos("foo") >= 0)
  {  
    echo(temp.currentArray.substring(3));
  }
}

[Chompy]

You edited your post

PHP Code:

for (temp.currentArray: array)
{
  if (temp.currentArray.pos("foo") >= 0)
  {  
    echo(temp.currentArray.substring("foo".length()));
  }
} 


But I would like this to be added

[xAndrewx]

Yeah
I forgot, I was trying to trim the selected text, not find the position!

I wouldn't mind it being added!

Me neither

[zokemon]

But getstringkeys is for getting subvariables or variables that start with the parameter...it isn't meant for arrays at all!

getStringKeys() hasn't been GS2ified, doesn't work with Object references.

PHP Code:

function getArrayKeys(array, key) {
  temp.e = 0; // The array element
  temp.out = 0; // The output array

  for (e: array) {
    if (e.starts(key)) {
      out.add(e.substring(key.length()));
    }
  }
  return out;
}
