Escinject

Overview

Syntax: escinject <command> <variable> <string>

Description

Escape special characters from <string> depending on <command> and store the result in <variable>

Note: It doesn't expand server variables. Prefix the command with es to expand variables (es escinject).

Parameters

• command - Must be:
  • regex - escape characters like "*" with a "\" before them
  • sql - escape several characters
  • url - escape characters like "@" with %hex names
  • regexb - reverse the meaning of "escinject regex"
  • sqlb - reverse the meaning of "escinject sql"
  • urlb - reverse the meaning of "escinject url"
• variable - In what variable store the result in
• string - The string you want to edit

Examples

Be lazy and let escinject care about special characters:

event player_say
{
  es_xset regular_expression 0
  es_xset result 0
  escinject regex regular_expression "*** Hi ***, (dude).+"
  es_regex search result server_var(regular_expression) event_var(text)
}

Notes

• The *b subcommand is good to get the "real" string again
