getMatchingLibProperties() doesn't seem to work ;(

So while doing some other searching I ran across getMatchingLibProperties and decided to see how it works. Wrote a short little script like this.

Code: Select all

[h: matches = getMatchingLibProperties("dbIdxTag.*","Lib:Spells")]

Matches = [r: matches]<br>

[foreach(item,matches,","), code :{
	Item = [r:item]=([r: getLibProperty(item,"Lib:Spells")]<br>
}]

However, I get nothing. I know that the vars are there because dbIdxTag.Arcane.SpellName is the format I use for all my "arcane" spells and they exist.

I thought maybe it was my regex but I tried "dbIdxTag*" and no joy. Is there some odd trick I'm missing here? Even using the getAllPropertyNames() doesn't list them.

So turns out I was being an idiot.

Code: Select all

[h: tag = lower(getLibProperty("ItemTag","Lib:Spells"))]

Getting all matches of [r: tag].*<br>

[h: matches = getMatchingLibProperties(tag+".*","Lib:Spells")]

[foreach(item,matches,","):item]

Somewhere along the line I was using "lower" on the tag name or something. That said, boom stack overflow every time I try to do anything with the list other than just what I have above.

Code: Select all

[foreach(item,matches,""), code:{
 Item = [r:item]<br>
}]

So I guess not to good to use for big DB stuff? I am thinking I might use it on player tokens for much smaller number of results.

the stack overflow if probly due to an error that generates LOTS of text, porting that text to the chat gerenates a stack overflow. What you can try:
- raise the stack to something ridiculous like 20 to see what the error is
- remove the loop and only check the first entry
- hide the loop [h,] and check the console to see what the error is (see debug article linked in in sig.)
