Category talk:LSL String

Value1 equals value2 is how I spelled value1 == value2, back over in the Category tab. Please fix the spelling, if you're enough more Wiki literate than I to know how.

The == operator needs an example.

Working with the dataserver event I discovered that "\n" within a string taken from a notecard is not read by for example llSetText() as a new line.

Assuming "data" was a string such as "Douglas Adams,High on a rocky promontory\nsat an Electric Monk on a bored horse." it is presented as "High on a rocky promontory\nsat an Electric Monk on a bored horse." by the llSetText <lsl> default {

   dataserver(key id, string data)
   {
       llSetText(llList2String(llCSV2List(data),1), <1.0,1.0,1.0>, 1.0);
   }

} </lsl>

Whereas

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSetText("High on a rocky promontory\nsat an Electric Monk on a bored horse.", <1.0,1.0,1.0>, 1.0);
   }

} </lsl>

is presented as "High on a rocky promontory sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse." as one would expect. -- Eddy 01:48, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Escaped character support is a feature of the compiler, not the VM. You want Unescape. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 12:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

What's the VM? -- Eddy 01:30, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Mono or LSO. It's what runs and sandboxes your script. VM = Virtual Machine. -- Strife ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:13, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanx Strife. 6 months ago "LSO" meant "London Symphony Orchestra" to me. And "mono" was what to expect from original pressings of Beach Boys and Beatles albums. -- Eddy 03:23, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
