What's the best way to parse nVault data if I don't know how hany pieces of data I'm going to have inside it, formatted like %i#%i# , so I don't have to use parse() and code it all out? I think strbreak() could be helpful if I knew how to use it.

Thanks.

strbreak uses the same "delimiter" that parse() does and neither will work if you are delimiting with a # symbol.

You will need to use the more generic strtok() function.

Something like this:

PHP Code:

    strtok(remainingtext, textofinterest, charsmax(textofinterest), remainingtext, charsmax(remainingtext), '#')
    number = str_to_num(textofinterest)

Okay. So would I have to remove each piece of the string after I use it? Or ... ?

If there is always a # at the end of the string, you could do this:

new vaultData[/*size of vault data */]

new piece[/* size of the piece you are getting */]

while(contain(vaultData, "#") >= 0) {
    strtok(vaultData, piece, charsmax(piece), vaultData, charsmax(vaultData), '#')
    
    // piece is the piece you want
}

Using the original vault string recursively means it removes it for you automatically, if that was not clear.

@Exolent, I don't think your code will get the last peice of data unless the last characters is the token.

E.g:
"I'm first#I'm Second#I've been left behind:("

So, the "I've been left behind:(" will actually be left in vaultData after the loop finishes.

Also, his post had the # at the end, just like the XP Mod tutorial that all new scripters copy from.

Oops, saw more code than regular text so I skipped the regular text. My bad.

Lol thanks for that. Learnt from, not copied from :p.

Thanks guys for your help.

EDIT: Tested now and working perfect!
