Subj : repeat char @-code? To : Digital Man From : Rampage Date : Fri Oct 20 2023 20:19:52 Re: repeat char @-code?

I didn't really see an obvious use case for those RPT examples you gave, but if/when you have one, I'll take a second look. well, the idea was for something codified for the different terminal widths... kinda like the current header.asc has the line going from left to right and then terminating with the dots... the thought was for something like @rpt#--l20@ . . . @rpt# -c20@ . . . @rpt#--r20@ which would result in 20 "-" from the left followed by the three dots followed by 20 spaces followed by three dots ending with 20 "-" on the right but with the whole thing taking the actual terminal width into account... so maybe the "20" used in this example would be 20% instead of 20 glyphs... it was just an idea to be able to draw using the macros and taking the screen width into account without having to draw a bunch of different screens and then figure out how to use the proper one for the terminal width of the user... but i can see how this might also be a rabbit hole, too... )\/(ark --- þ Synchronet þ The SouthEast Star Mail HUB - SESTAR * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705) .
