Simple scripting question

#1 If you are looking for only the last single digit, % with 10 might be easier.

%val = 10092 % 10;
  error(%val); // 2

#2 Aun is right, although looks like he mistyped the divisor :)

%val = 10092 % 10090;
echo(%val);

'%' is the function modulo, widely used to make what you need, Rev.

See here for more info.

#3 Actually, Aun is correct. This is a trivial operation that a lot of game programmers pick up over the years.

In C++, you might do the following to get the digits:

// This code won't work just right when val = 0,
// but this is for example purposes only.
int val = 10092;
while( val > 0 )
{
  int endDigit = val % 10;
  // Do something with endDigit (store it, display it, whatever)
  val /= 10;
}

But people tend to forget that all literals in TorqueScript are strings. You should take advantage of that:

$val = 10092; 
$len = strlen( $val ); 
for( %i = 0; %i < $len; %i++ )
  echo( getSubStr( $val, %i, 1 ) );

You can put this all on one line in the console:

$val = 10092; $len = strlen( $val ); for( %i = 0; %i < $len; %i++ ) echo( getSubStr( $val, %i, 1 ) );

and see that it results in

1
0
0
9
2

#4 Thanks all, that helped a ton. I must have had a syntax problem with getSubStr the first time I tried - it works like a charm now.
