Change a list item?

[tooltrainer 12]

I do this sort of thing in PHP all the time but I'm not sure it can be done in UBot, but it sure would be useful.

 

Here's pseudocode:

 

foreach(list item)

{

if item is empty

change item to equal "n/a"

}

 

The loop part is easy, but I don't think we can change a value in a list on the fly like this... can we? Anyone?

Off the top of my head, you would want something like

 

Loop List Total = OriginalList

 

>Set CurrentItem (Var) = Next List Item (OriginaList)

 

>If

 

>>Eval

 

>>>CurrentItem = $nothing

 

>>Set CurrentItem

 

>>>n/a

 

>Add to list, AlteredList

 

>>CurrentItem

 

 

After you exit the loop,

 

You could set OriginalList to AlteredList if you need to maintain the original list name.

 

Something like this, maybe.

Yep that's more or less what I ended up doing... using more than one list. Ideally I'd love to just edit the list being parsed as you can in a true programming language, but I don't think UBot can handle that. This workaround gets the job done though!
