Category talk:LSL List

I want to document the fact that the following two expressions are NOT the same somehow.

[1] list_var += [(string)key_var]; [2] list_var += (string)key_var;

Why does this matter? why consider the following line of code:

index = llListFindList(list_var, [(string)key_var] );

If method [1] is used before the line above,you will find your value, however if you use method [2], you will not.

After much frustration I wanted to share this in hope someone else will not fall into the pit, or if it is a bug, it can be put in Jira. I'll let one of the Wiki gods decide what to do with this. --Awsoonn Rawley

I'll look into it, this sounds like a bug. Those two expressions should be equivalent. -- Strife Onizuka 18:26, 3 June 2007 (PDT)

I've done some testing and I cannot replicate your problem. Are you aware that indexing starts at zero and not one? -- Strife Onizuka 15:56, 5 June 2007 (PDT)

try this --Awsoonn Rawley 04:35, 6 June 2007 (PDT)

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        list lst;
        key  uuid = llGetKey();
        
        lst = ["bob", "tom", "jerry"];
        
        lst += (string)uuid;
        
        llSay(0, (string)llListFindList(lst, [(string)uuid]) );
    }
}

I would really just like some documentation on this page about how to index into a list at all. Thanks - Kendown Baroque 00:48, 28 August 2007 (PDT)
