CrazyAznGamer	Quote:Originally posted by Overkill I dunno, look at the source sometime, under vc_builtins.cpp. There are many functions and function place-holders! Though a lot of these function placeholders don't even have vc_MyFunctionName() function defined in vc_library.cpp. Well, I knew that, but place-holders... Heh. Talk about Verge tradition. In any case, don't we already have a sort of OOP thing going on with some sort of DMA... scripting engine for Verge? Posted on 2006-04-02 23:11:49
Overkill	Sure, but DMA is int/word/byte orientated, and fails miserably with strings. Dictionaries are a slower but are able to store either strings or ints dynamically, with a string key to access them. Posted on 2006-04-03 06:10:26
Interference22	Ok, guys. Here's a little something to make using ListFilePattern much easier: the code I'm using to process it's output. It sorts the string returned from ListFilePattern into an array and returns how many files were found: string filelist[1000]; int ListFiles(string pattern) { int countpos = 0; int numfiles = 0; string files = ListFilePattern(pattern); while (countpos < len(files)) { if (!strcmp(mid(files, countpos, 1), "\|")) { filelist[numfiles] = left(files, countpos); files = right(files, len(files)-(countpos+1)); numfiles++; countpos = 0; } else { countpos++; } } return numfiles; } I know. You all love me. Posted on 2006-04-16 17:44:31
Overkill	This can be written simpler and more efficiently using the token functions. string filelist[1000]; int ListFiles(string pattern) { int i; string files = ListFilePattern(pattern); if (!len(files)) return 0; // No files found! // TokenCount() - 1 because there's always an extra \| at the end on successful searches. for (i = 0; i < TokenCount(files, "\|") - 1; i++) { filelist[i] = GetToken(files, "\|", i); } return TokenCount(files, "\|") - 1; } Posted on 2006-04-17 11:59:20 (last edited on 2006-04-17 11:59:45)
Interference22	Point. I've only recently started using the token functions. Yes, people occasionally mistake me for a luddite.. Posted on 2006-04-17 17:49:55

It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
