This scene contains only basic functions to manipulate strings variables.
Why this scene? Because, for example in algodoo there is no functions which allow you to get a part of a classic text variable.
String format : (All my functions use this format)
[string Length, string elements]
example : [11,["H","e","l","l","o"," ","W","o","r","l","d"]]
Functions list, speed and limit : (You have to add "Scene.my." before the name of all functions)
-strCat([str1], [str2]) : Concatenate [str1] with [str2]. Return : [string] (fast) (no limit)
-strLen([str]) : Return the length of [str]. Return : [number] (fast) (no limit)
-strToText([str]) : Convert [str] into classic text. Return : [text] (slow) (strings about 400 chars) Note : Don't put {Scene.my.strToText(str)} in the text variable of a box because this will slow down the simulation.
-subStr([str], [start], [length]) : Return the chars wich are in [str] between start to start+length. Return : [string] (slow) (strings about 400 chars)
-addChar([str], [char], [place]) : Return [str] with [char] inserted at position [place]. Return : [string] (fast for place = 0 and place = Scene.my.strLen(str) slow for others places) (no limit for place = 0 and place = Scene.my.strLen(str), strings about 400 chars for others places)
-charToStr([char]) : Convert [char] into a string of length = 1. Return : [string] (fast) (only one char)
-subChar([str], [place]) : Return [str] without the char at position [place]. Return : [string] (slow) (strings about 400 chars)
-getChar([str], [pos]) : Return the char wich is at position [pos] in [str]. Return : [text] (fast) (no limit)
-setChar([str], [char], [pos]) : Replace the char at position [pos] in [str] by [char]. Return : [string] (slow) (strings about 400 chars)
(slow) mean that bigger will be the string, slower will be the function.
The limit of strings about 400 char is due to the for function used in this script (I used the one you can get at http://www.algodoo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=411)
Please if you have a for function wich handle bigger numbers (and if possible wich is faster) or other string functions ideas tell me.
If you use theses functions, please give me credit.
If you found some bugs, I'll try to fix them.
If my English is bad, I apologize.
My text to algodoo string tool : http://lh62have.free.fr/algodoo/ (Updated)
Known bugs(s) :
-You can't use the char ] alone (You can try to type "]" in console, you'll get an error)
This scene can be used as phunlet and should work in phun
.
