I really think that scratch needs an () contains letter [] block

This would make it easier for keywords and filtering also good for making people answer a question and not have a certain character.

E.g

when gf clicked
ask [What is your name?] and wait
if
  (answer) contains letter [a]

That, and a substring block: (letters (start) to (end) of [string])

Would make string manipulation a whole lot easier. c:

i would really like more string manipulation blocks built in. hopefully procedures can do the trick.

lalala3 · 2013-01-04 18:16:54

Even better, just

<[] contains []?>

so we can use it for strings longer than a single character.

yeah

i wuz just gonna say that

Workaroundable

Repeat length of (string to be checked)
Change I by one
If item I = check
Set yes to one

30-1 · 2013-01-18 07:22:56

support.

taddl · 2013-01-18 08:08:18

YES!
I support

sonicfan12p · 2013-01-18 12:34:16

It is workaroundable.

when gf clicked
ask [What is your name?] and wait
add (answer) to [List v]
if <[list v] contains [thing]>
say [That can't be right!]

That's not what they want.

However, I've made many workarounds.

This feature is available in a bunch of mods, but it is useful.
Support, but it should be contains any string at all, not just a letter.

technoguyx · 2013-01-18 12:50:15

It can be made as a custom block, when 2.0 comes out

define: (string) contains (letter)?
set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of (string))
    if <(letter (i) of (string)) = (letter)>
        return true
    end
    change [i v] by [1]
end
return false

I think we won't be able to make reporter blocks (I hope it's not true D: ), though, so you'll have to work around that.

It'd still be pretty useful to have as a standard block.

Then what do they want? It seems to do the exact same thing as they said.

OverPowered · 2013-01-20 09:55:26

Support. A "( ) contains ( )" block would be very useful!

Not close. We want a method to check to see if a specified string contains another specified string (well, some people want it to be a single character, but I feel that's too limited).

The bad thing is that you cannot have two of those running at the same time though.

What, 2.0 blocks can't have local variables? Ouch.

Nope. You could if you had a million different lists, but nobody wants to do that.

You can do it with BYOB

True.

It's a shame 2.0 blocks can't have local variables. D:

Tbtemplex97 · 2013-01-25 11:10:39

so () contains [] is what is good?

You can probably propose for it to be changed, so why don't you?
