gsub function doesn`t replace string to nothing.

[Andrey01]

The issue happens here on third line from the top:

Code: Select all

if size_str_s and player_inv_e then
		local theme_str = new_form:sub(size_str_s, player_inv_e)
		new_form = new_form:gsub(theme_str, "") -- Doesn`t replace 'theme_str' string to '' empty one.
	end

'them_str' is

Code: Select all

size[13, 9.1]tabheader[0,0;sfinv_nav_tabs;Crafting,(T@creative)AllE,(T@creative)NodesE,(T@creative)ToolsE,(T@creative)ItemsE;2;true;false]		image[5,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[6,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[7,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[8,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[9,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[10,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[11,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		image[12,4.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
		list[current_player;main;5,4.7;8,1;]
		list[current_player;main;5,5.85;8,3;8]

That function doesn`t replace 'theme_str' to the empty string. It just drops as it is.

gsub uses patterns. Your string has pattern elements in it, so it won't replace the way a simple replace function would. You'll either have to build a simple replace or escape all those pattern elements (e.g. %] for ]).

I`ve escaped all magic characters, but it doesn` help:

Code: Select all

local theme_tmp = "size%[13, 9%.1%]" ..
			"tabheader%[0,0;sfinv_nav_tabs;" .. table.concat(cur_context_state.nav_titles, ",") .. ";" .. cur_context_state.nav_idx .. ";true;false%]" ..
			[[

	                 image%[6,4%.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg%.png%]
	                 image%[7,4%.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg%.png%]
	                 image%[8,4%.7;1,1;gui_hb_bg%.png%]

	                 list%[current_player;main;5,5%.85;8,3;8%]
	                  ]]

I`ve escaped all magic characters, but it doesn` help:

I imagine you've missed some. In this case, it's going to be way too complicated to get everything escaped. I'd just do a string.find(), then use the returned location and cut the string from there to the length of your search string.

Code: Select all

function string.simple_replace(str, rep_this, rep_with)
	local l, s1, s2 = -1, '', ''

	l = str:find(rep_this, 1, true)
	if l == -1 then
		return str
	end

	if l > 1 then
		s1 = str:sub(1, l - 1)
	end

	if rep_this:len() + l <= str:len() then
		s2 = str:sub(l + rep_this:len(), str:len())
	end

	return s1 .. rep_with .. s2
end

Thanks! I`ve understood what I need to do.
