Searches table for the Nth item name which matches text. Returns item name.
$hfind(name/N, text, N, M)[.data]
If you specify the .data property, it searches for a matching data value.
M is optional, and can be:
M | Explanation |
n | normal text comparison (default if M isn't specified) |
w | text is wildcard text |
W | hash table item/data is wildcard text |
r | text is regular expression |
R | hash table item/data is regular expression |
Note that if you specify N = 0, it will return the total amount of matching items (see the second example below).
Example
At first, we need a hashtable for all examples, so lets make one:
; have a nice alias called makehash for it alias makehash { ; here we actually make the hashtable hmake testhash 100 ; now lets put data in it hadd testhash Dana Dana@staff.quakenet.org hadd testhash user1 user1@random.host hadd testhash user2 user2@another.host }
The first example will just search for user1@random.host and returns the item (user1):
echo -a $hfind(testhash,Dana@staff.quakenet.org,1).data
The next example will loop through all data's containing *user* and return the item and data.
user1 => user1@random.host
user2 => user2@another.host
var %i = 1 ; let's start the looping. $find(testhash,*user*,0,w).data returns the total amount of found items. while (%i <= $hfind(testhash,*user*,0,w).data) { ; this echos it to the active window. $hget(testhash,$hfind(testhash,*user*,%i,w)) returns ; the data of the found item. echo -a $hfind(testhash,*user*,%i,w) => $hget(testhash,$hfind(testhash,*user*,%i,w)) ; increase the looping-variable inc %i }
