 |
|
Is there a way to count the number of characters in a string minus the hex codes for colors?
| Quote: | | "\0034,1\xb0\xbaO\xa7\0030 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ $botnick command help ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ " |
If I do a string length on that, that returns the total count of characters including the hex values and such. Is there any way to only only get a length of printable characters including the subst value of $botnick.

| Of course there's a way, strip off the stuff you don't want with either regsub or the stripcodes commands then use string length |

If $text is "\0034,1\xb0\xbaO\xa7\0030 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ $botnick command help ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
then:
| Code: |
#In eggdrop 1.6.17 and later, you can use:
set text [stripcodes bcruag $text]
#If you want to count spaces as characters
set textlen [string length $text]
#If you don't want to count spaces as characters
set textlen [string length [string map {" " ""} $text]]
