Well, is there a way that I can get rid of a single char from a text string? Like, a-=B? Well, I know that there is procs to do this, just couldnt find one.
I know someone around here has a good text library around here or you can use Spuzz's replace text. The concept is simple. You need to use findtext() and copytext(). Personally, I like the replacetext function better since it can be used for more.
proc/ReplaceText(var/haystack, var/needle, var/replace="") if(!haystack || !needle) return 0 //check for the two most important variables var/pos = findtext(haystack, needle) //get the position of the first needle if any at all while(pos) //while pos has a true value haystack = "[copytext(haystack, 1, pos)][replace][copytext(haystack, pos+length(pos))]" //give haystack a new value of string value before the needle, insert replace value here, string value after the needle pos = findtext(haystack, needle) //reset pos for the new iteration of the loop so the value is correct return haystack //return the new value of the haystack
In this example, haystack is the entire text string, needle is the string to locate (and remove), and replace is the value to replace the needle with. It's null right now so it simply removes the needle because it replaces it with nothing.
