For Loop Only Going to 68

[baseman101]

Hello,

I've made a script which checks a log on a UC server. The problem is that it only loops 68 times through the file, and stays at 68. I find this really unhelpful. Here's the script I have.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
    temp.str.loadstring("logs/testlog.txt");
    echo(searchString(temp.str, "Testing123"));
}

function searchString(temp.string, temp.search) {
  for (this.x = 0; this.x < temp.string.length(); this.x++) {
    if(temp.string.substring(this.x,temp.search.length()) == temp.search) {
      echo("Found string!");
      return temp.string.substring(this.x - 100, temp.search.length() + 100);
      break;
    }
  }
} 


Thanks in advance! Also, is there a more efficient way of writing this? Say, with a log that has over 10,000 characters (the NPC Server stops the script after 10000 loops).

Don't use this.x for starters, that's a reserved variable for NPCs. Use pos or positions instead.

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.str.loadstring("logs/testlog.txt");
  temp.spos = temp.str.pos("Testing123");
  if (temp.spos >= 0) {
    echo("found string");
    echo(temp.str.substring(temp.spos - 100, temp.spos + 100));
  }
  for (temp.spos: temp.str.positions("Testing123")) {
    echo(temp.str.substring(temp.spos - 100, temp.spos + 100));
  }
}

Ah, (facepalm), thanks!
