So I'm finally dusting off the old brain and trying something new (making a gridder), unfortunatly I'm allot worse off then I thought I was. The jumble of code below is my first attempt at getting sector numbers using a density scanner and then echoing the results. Unfortunatly I banging my head against the keyboard trying to see what im doing wrong. I feel like I'm missing something that I did with TerraFarmer but as I wrote that over a year ago I can't remember.

SetVar $SectorCount 0
#-----------------------Get Sectors-----------------------------#
:get_sec
KillAllTriggers
setTextLineTrigger get_sec :get_sec1 "Sector"
send "sd"
pause
:get_sec1
GetWord CURRENTLINE $Sector 2
If ($Sector = "(")
GetWord CURRENTLINE $Sector 3
end
StripText $Sector ")"
Add $SectorCount 1
GetWord $Warp[$SectorCount] $Sector 1
setTextLineTrigger get_sec2 :get_sec1 "Sector"
setTextLineTrigger done :done "Command [TL="
Pause
:done
Echo $Warp[$SectorCount]

You don't need to do any of that. If reqRecording is on your density scan will automatically update the database. Before you start just do a dz*, grab the sector number, and go from there. Then you can use the density in the database for the sectors adj to your current, no need to parse from the stream.

However, I'm confused as to how to go about getting the correct amount of warps out and then comparing there information to what I want the gridder to do? Being as that the script will continually scan then move, I'm curious if any sort of loop will create to many variables and how do i determine the difference between a sector with 2 warps out and a sector with 6. I assume the dz* is to update for sectors but it wont update adjacent density will it?

Is there a easier way? Where it builds the variable as it goes? I'm using the variables for comparision to meet criteria for picking the warp untill which point it can't. Consider it a safe gridder in that it only grids empty space, at least thats my immediate goal, after which I will be adding conditions and the such.
