Is there any way to use && or || (and & or) oper

OldNecro · Post by **OldNecro** » Thu Feb 26, 2004 7:38 pm

I want to do this:

/if blah1!=blah2 AND blah1!=blah3 {
dothiscrap
} else {
dothiscrap2
}

...without using a gagglefuck of /if statements

basically I am checking for valid parameters upon running a macro. if it doesn't match either of the possible options, it defaults.

Assuming your blah's were all string variables...

Code: Select all

/if ("@blah1"!="@blah2" && "@blah1"!="@blah3") { 
    dothiscrap 
} else { 
    dothiscrap2 
}

outstanding. thx much for the syntax.

Is it possible to use && and || on more than 2 concurrent comparisons? I have the following statement in a macro I'm working on.

Code: Select all

 /if ("$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="WAR" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="PAL" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="SHD" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="RNG") {
  /dosomestuff
}

The problem is that the macro only processes the first two comparisons, i.e. it will /dosomestuff if the group member is a warrior or paladin, but not if it's a shadow knight or ranger. I've not been able to find a working example of a multiple OR in my code skimming, so any info would be appreciated.

Never tried and unfortunately not in a position to test, but for a quick fix assuming there is a limitation on it since your syntax looks right:

Code: Select all

 /if ("$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="WAR" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="PAL") {
   /dosomestuff
} else {
   /if ("$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="SHD" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="RNG") {
      /dosomestuff
   }
}

Thanks for the suggestion. It would work if only I didn't already have an else statement after the comparisons.

Well, I got it working with multiple /if statements and several /goto points, but the code is very sloppy. If anyone knows about the limit on OR comparisons, I'd love to know about it. Thanks.

*chuckle* Then:

Code: Select all

/if ("$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="WAR" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="PAL") { 
   /dosomestuff 
} else { 
   /if ("$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="SHD" || "$spawn($group(@num),sclass)"=="RNG") { 
      /dosomestuff 
   } else {
      /dosomethingelse
   }
}

Going to step out on a limb here since my C++ sucks badly..

EDIT: and I was wrong :). Thanks smelly.

You can have multiple and/or operators in it, just need to put brackets around 2 of them.

eg

Code: Select all

/if n ((A==1 || B==2) || C==3) { do this }

Thats the basic logic, which works for me. You'll have to figure out where to put the brackets and operators if you want to have || and && in one statement.

WHAT IF....

one of the comparisons is a string and the other is numeric? can those two be put on the same line, and if so, what is the syntax to get the "n" in there for the numeric comparison?

/if (string1==string2 && n num1==num2) maybe?

Got it in one.

This is close, it would be more like this (Included a mix of numeric and string comparisons.):

Code: Select all

/if (((n @A==1 || n @B==2) || n @C==3) || "@Blah"=="@Blah2") { do this }

Thanks everyone. Got it cleaned up and working great.
