REPLACE request

[Galactygon]

I have a file xxx.2da that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

1
2
3
4
5
6

And I'd like to patch it like this,

Code: [Select]

COPY_EXISTING ~xxx.2da~ ~override~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~1 ~ ~2~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~2 ~ ~3~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~3 ~ ~4~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~4 ~ ~5~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~5 ~ ~6~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~6 ~ ~7~
all my numbers are turned into 7s because REPLACE_TEXTUALLY replaces as it goes and then starts over. There can be workarounds by replacing text to temps and replacing the temps back, but it would be so much nicer if WeiDU could handle this.

Maybe there could be a REPLACE_TEXTUALLY_LATER and a REPLACE_TEXTUALLY_NOW feature. Or allow REPLACE_TEXTUALLY to take more than one pair of parameters:

Code: [Select]

COPY_EXISTING ~xxx.2da~ ~override~
REPLACE_TEXTUALLY ~1 ~ ~2~
 ~2 ~ ~3~
 ~3 ~ ~4~
 ~4 ~ ~5~
 ~5 ~ ~6~
 ~6 ~ ~7~

And what I'm talking about would apply to the rest of the REPLACE_ family.

Unfortunately, what you're asking for is impossible to do. If it makes sense in your context, doing the REPLACE_TEXTUALLY should fix the problem.

if you're just incrementing them, reverse the patch order (change 6 to 7, then 5 to 6, then 4 to 5, etc.).

What he said - I accidentally forgot to type the "in reverse order".

I've resolved this - thanks!
