RC: Built-In Search Function

[Gambet]

It would be extremely beneficial if RC contained a search function that would cycle through all files and return all files that contain the data you wish to search for.

This would aid you in finding problems across the server in which you can't trace them back to the source of the problem, and thus, you're forced to manually cycle through tons of NPCs before you find your culprit and are able to fix the problem.

It would be less of a hassle and a lot less time consuming, and can also end up with less problems arising if a corrupt staff member implements a script on the server that would cause harm to the players attributes, because then you could quickly search for any files that contain script that would do those things to the players and then you could remove it before any massive damage is caused.

No, that only looks for files.

I'm talking about looking for content within files :/

Content inside files would have to be words x-x

[excaliber7388]

Or being able to search for a phrase in a script without opening some text editor

Something like this would work. You'd just need to change the folder/strings.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.searchlist.loadfolder("weapons/*.txt",0);
  this.searchid = 0;
  this.searchstrings = {"serverwarp","rupees","AddItem"};
  scheduleevent(.25,"SearchFiles",NULL,NULL);
}

function onSearchFiles() {
  if ((this.searchid*50) >= this.searchlist.size()) {
    echo("Search completed.");
    return;
  }
  for (temp.s = this.searchid*50; temp.s < (this.searchid+1)*50; temp.s++) {
    temp.line.loadstring("weapons/" @ this.searchlist[temp.s]);
    for (temp.n: this.searchstrings) {
      if (temp.line.pos(temp.n) >= 0) {
        echo("Found" SPC temp.n SPC "in file" SPC this.searchlist[temp.s]);
      }
    }
  }
  this.searchid++;
  scheduleevent(.25,"SearchFiles",NULL,NULL);
}
