Some implementation of split in squirrel?

[EK.IceFlake]

Well... I'm having a lot of trouble scripting a split function for my squirrel std library (which I'm using in my general-purpose squirrel implementation)

Code Select Expand

class estdstring
{
    function split(string, delimeter, maximum = null)
    {
        if (string.find(delimeter) == null) return [string];
        local array = [], currentpos = string.find(delimeter) + delimeter.len(), idx = 1;
        array.push(string.slice(0, currentpos));
        while (true)
        {
            if ((maximum != null && idx > maximum) || string.slice(currentpos).find(delimeter) == null) return array;
            ++idx;
            local lastpos = currentpos;
            currentpos = string.slice(currentpos).find(delimeter) + delimeter.len();
            array.push(string.slice(lastpos, lastpos + currentpos));
        }
    }
}
Do you know of any split implementation (public domain please)? Thanks.

Does the delimiter have to be a single character or a string containing more than one characters/delimiters?

Also, what's wrong with the standard split function?

Squirrel has a standard split function!? Which?
:edit:

Not to mention that Squirrel is such a sh!tty language that you can't even implement a split function efficiently as a script because you can't search for characters inside strings. Only if you turn the character into a string first. Meaning you have to do heap allocation for each character inside the string that you're trying to split. Man, talk about pathetic.

You have to use it in a basic form not with wildcards

Code Select Expand

local sz = "This is a string";
local seperator = split( sz, " " );
print( typeof( seperator ) ); // -> Array, each index containing words "This", "is", "a", "string" respectively
You need to use ragexp for what you're trying to do.

Oh I see what you did there. You're having your own program link to Squirrel instead of using the official plugin or something. Basically you're embedding it into your own program. In that case. You should kow that the standard library is separate and that must be registered separately after you create the VM.

Oh... that'll probably work. That's just what I was about to ask you but the forum notified me that a new message has been posted. Thanks.

Now I'm having a big problem

and I can't find the #define scsprintf line anywhere

Ah yes, that's Visual Studio beeing a jackass and force you to change your code so you won't be able to easily make it cross platform later without doing some serious revisions (jk. but not really). Add the macro _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to your project macros.

That's defined as a macro somewhere in squirrel.h if you're using pre 3.1 versions or sqconfig.h if you're using post 3.1 versions. Since the C/C++ standard was drunk for a while so compilers do what they do best. They start making their own standard and make it so it doesn't look the same as the standard made by the other compilers. Even if that means just using different names for functions. So you kinda have to use these workarounds. Welcome to the pre-2010 cross platform development with C/C++
