ASP variables

Hi... I'm an ASP programmer and I want to send variables to my SL script.

I've done ASP to flash before... but there, actionscript just looks for a list, returned via HTTP like:

var1=apple
var2=pear

Does SL read variables like this, or does it only parse XML?

No, you have to script any interaction yourself using LSL. Use llHttpRequest() request to get the variables from your server. You could grab a single string with several variable:data pairs. In LSL, you could parse the string using functions such as LLCSV2List() or llParseString2List().

SL only reads plaintext sent from the webpage within the body of the event ... but it reads it as a string so your example would show up as "var1=apple\nvar2=pear"

Thanks!

So, I would parse the string "manually" in my SL script? Or does SL script have a function that understands that format?

Use llParseString2List to split the lines, and then a second time to process each pair

ProcessData(string str)
{
    list ldata = llParseString2List(str, ["\n"], [""]);
    integer size = llGetListLength(ldata);
    while(size >= 1)
    {
        string x = llList2String(ldata,size);
        list commands = llParseString2List(x, ["="], [""]);
        string varname = llList2String(commands,0);
        string value = llList2String(commands,1);
        // Do what ever
        --size;
    }
}

Thanks guys.

I appreciate it very much.
