Dataserver madness

I have the following block of code...

// Configuration Notecard Information
string PLAYLIST = "Playlist";
string CONFIG = "Config";
integer DEBUG = 1;
integer gConfigLineNbr = 0;
key gConfigKey = "";
list gUserList = [];
list gLimitedUserList = [];
string gConfigBlock = "";


Initialize() {
gConfigKey = llGetNotecardLine(CONFIG, gConfigLineNbr);
}

default {
state_entry() {
Initialize();
}

dataserver(key queryid, string data) {
if (gConfigKey == queryid) {
if (data != EOF) {
if (llGetSubString(data, 0, 0) == "[" {
gConfigBlock = data;
} else if (gConfigBlock = "[USERS]" {
gUserList += data;
} else if (gConfigBlock = "[LIMITED USERS]" {
gLimitedUserList += data;
}
if (DEBUG) {
llSay(0,"data";
llSay(0,data);
llSay(0,"gConfigBlock";
llSay(0,gConfigBlock);
llSay(0,"gUserList";
llSay(0,llList2CSV(gUserList));
llSay(0,"gLimitedUserList";
llSay(0,llList2CSV(gLimitedUserList));
}
gConfigLineNbr++;
gConfigKey = llGetNotecardLine(CONFIG, gConfigLineNbr);
}
}
}
}


And the following data files...

===Start of file===
[USERS]
Bob
Ted
[LIMITED USERS]
Carol
===End of file===

With the debug statements, I get the following output:


[15:45] Object: data
[15:45] Object: [USERS]
[15:45] Object: gConfigBlock
[15:45] Object: [USERS]
[15:45] Object: gUserList
[15:45] Object:
[15:45] Object: gLimitedUserList
[15:45] Object:
[15:45] Object: data
[15:45] Object: Bob
[15:45] Object: gConfigBlock
[15:45] Object: [USERS]
[15:45] Object: gUserList
[15:45] Object: Bob
[15:45] Object: gLimitedUserList
[15:45] Object:
[15:45] Object: data
[15:45] Object: Ted
[15:45] Object: gConfigBlock
[15:45] Object: [USERS]
[15:45] Object: gUserList
[15:45] Object: Bob, Ted
[15:45] Object: gLimitedUserList
[15:45] Object:
[15:45] Object: data
[15:45] Object: [LIMITED USERS]
[15:45] Object: gConfigBlock
[15:45] Object: [LIMITED USERS]
[15:45] Object: gUserList
[15:45] Object: Bob, Ted
[15:45] Object: gLimitedUserList
[15:45] Object:
[15:45] Object: data
[15:45] Object: Carol
[15:45] Object: gConfigBlock
[15:45] Object: [USERS]
[15:45] Object: gUserList
[15:45] Object: Bob, Ted, Carol
[15:45] Object: gLimitedUserList
[15:45] Object:

For some reason, my variable gConfigBlock is being reset to [USERS] it appears, and all names appear in that list. I'm totally confused as to why this is happening!

HELP!
Thanks

Argh. Please use the [ PHP ] tags when posting code, every reader on this forum will thank you

And your bug: you need == for comparison. You're using single = in the two if() checks for gConfigBlock. From the rest of your code, you look like you know what you're doing, so this is probably a typo. Feel free to spend a few minutes kicking yourself

Kick Kick Kick Kick Kick Kick!

I swear I examined that code for 2 hours before I gave the cry!
Thanks.

I'll figure out the PHP tags, sorry

just so you know you can look up any of the "vb" codes with the link @ the bottom of the page

or so you dont have to look ...

You'll get more names (as incoming 'data') than "config blocks" I'd do the process more like so...

dataserver(key queryid, string data)
{
   if (gConfigKey == queryid)
   {
      if (data != EOF && llStringLength(data) > 0) // I just don't like processing blank lines :)
      {
	 if (llGetSubString(data, 0, 0) != "[") // if it's NOT a config block...
	 {
	    if (gConfigBlock == "[USERS]")
	    {
	       gUserList += data;
	    }
	    else // else it's limited (else use more "else if" checks if you add more categories
	    {
	       gLimitedUserList += data;
	    }
	 }
	 else // it is a config block
	 {
	    gConfigBlock = data;
	 }
      }
   }
}

sorry php quote doesn't like my use of tab/spaces and copy/paste from notepad -- and I'm too lazy to clean it up.

Snipped...

Take a carefull look!
you assign gConfigBlock with the value = "[USERS]" and that evaluates to TRUE.

Try for a change:

} else if ("[USERS]" = gConfigBlock ) {
gUserList += data;
} else if ("[LIMITED USERS]" = gConfigBlock) {

That will give you a compiler error: you cannot assign a variable to a constant value.

What you WANT is:
} else if ("[USERS]" == gConfigBlock ) {
gUserList += data;
} else if ("[LIMITED USERS]" == gConfigBlock) {

I make it a bit bigger, because a lot of people seem to miss this all the time.

The trick: use <value> expression <variable> to allow parser to catch errors

Thanks to all of you for taking the time in showing me the obvious right before my eyes. I do apprecaite the community out here.
