 Well this is the first time ive ever worked with data windows so its probably me doin somethin wrong. I can get the window to come up but no data will show in it, and my txt file comes out just fine.
Code: setvar $sector 11 setvar $file "list.txt" window status 100 50 "List Status" ONTOP setvar $window "0" setwindowcontents status $window while ($sector <= SECTORS) if (SECTOR.EXPLORED[$sector] = "NO") write $file $sector gosub :update end add $sector 1 end goto :end :update add $window 1 setwindowcontents status $window return :end |

Ok PHX, just a few minor changes. Think of the contents of the display window as a variable. The window contents will be formatted however the info within that variable is formatted. You'll see from the code below that I formatted it so that there are 11 sectors per line in the $window variable. Then, when the script is complete, we display that $window variable in the display window.
Hope it helps, +EP+ Code: setvar $sector 11 setvar $file "list.txt" window status 350 500 "List Status" ONTOP setvar $window "" while ($sector <= SECTORS) if (SECTOR.EXPLORED[$sector] = "NO") write $file $sector gosub :update end add $sector 1 end goto :end :update add $wordsPerLine 1 if ($wordsPerLine > 11) setVar $window $window & "*" setVar $wordsPerLine 1 end setVar $window $window & " " & $sector return :end setwindowcontents status $window pause _________________ Claim to Fame: only guy to ever crack the TW haggle algorithm, and fig/shield/hold price formula, twice. |

Something EP didn't say is that all things written to a script window MUST end with a * to display anything.

I just remembered. If you'd like to see an example of a script window. d/l my route window over at http://www.grimytrader.com (cheap plug). It's fully commented, so it should help with windows.

I've never found that to be the case about * Kimsanee, but I'll give your route display a go. Actually, I thought this was a clever use of script windows. I've often wanted a visual of my path. So props, a good idea.
See, now it is up to 2 cheap plugs

Sorry EP but I took Kimsanee's fix before trying yours and it worked just fine. SO see the simplest answer is usually the correct one. No it doesn't have to be the only correct answer but it was certainly the quickest fix.
Thanks to both of you. Id be lost in the sauce otherwise. |
