Is there a tag that "counts how many times a value appears in an elementtag"?
eg, lasagna would have the letter a three times,
and my lasagna named lasagna loves lasagna would have lasagna three times
ooor do i have to .split[lasagna].size and check that way?

#

i can't always rely on it being one character or space separated either, or i'd use to_list or space_separated

snow yarrow May 19, 2023, 6:09 PM

#

thats... interesting, after getting list of those elements you could use listtag.count[] tho

naive wagon May 19, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

your solution there seems competent

#

it'd get more complex if you needed to actually do anything with the element

#

the split[thing].size just needs to be split[thing].size.sub[1] and that works i guess lol

#

unless uh

why

lasagna appeared 3 times there

Sends a message to a Discord channel.
Command may fail if the bot does not have permission within the Discord group to send a message in that channel.
You can send the message to: a channel, user, or in reply to a previous message.

If sending as a reply, optionally use "no_mention" to disable the default reply pinging the original user.
Channels can be specified as either a copied ID, or using any tag that returns a valid DiscordChannelTag.

To get IDs, enable "Developer Mode" in your Discord settings, then right click on the channel and press "Copy ID".
You can edit an existing message by using "edit:<message>".
You can use "attach_file_name:<name>" and "attach_file_text:<text>" to attach a text file with longer content than a normal message allows.
You can use "rows" to attach action rows of components, such as buttons to the message, using <span class="meta_url">ObjectType</span><a href="/Docs/ObjectTypes/DiscordButtonTag">DiscordButtonTag</a>, and <span class="meta_url">ObjectType</span><a 
        href="/Docs/ObjectTypes/DiscordSelectionTag">DiscordSelectionTag</a>.

there's two object links in this description

#

to get the name of each one, i have to use element manipulation to get discordbutton and discordselection

#

i dont want to use regex though

#

it kills the queuespeed

little ether May 19, 2023, 6:51 PM

#

Do you haaaave more background info?

#

Because you could just ``.split[/Docs/ObjectTypes]>and then.after[/].before["]` on both entries of the list

midnight acorn May 19, 2023, 6:52 PM

#

it's for two different projects, it's half for my sparklies custom meta command script
and the other half is for my website fancy colorizer

midnight acorn May 19, 2023, 7:00 PM

#

little ether Because you could just ``.split[/Docs/ObjectTypes]>` and then `.after[/].before[...

this is close, but it can't work because of this example:
if <[text]> is:

. . . . . . . . .
. . . . axb . . .
. . . . . . ayb .
. . . . . . . . .```

if i want x to have a fancy a and b, i can't just do:

- foreach x|y as:string:
  - define text <[text].after[a].before[b]>
  - define text <[text].replace_text[a<[string]>b].with[-a-<[string]>-b-]>

because the second loop will fill my first tag <[text].after[a].before[b]> with -<[string]>- and not <[string]>
i have to grab x and y and then replace them after or replace the whole thing exactly once

#

i also need to save a few different parts of that so i can format stuff the way i want for both projects
