Last view: 6142 days 		During some back-and-forth PM exchanges, if one or the other person doesn't manually edit the title, there can be a ridiculous amount of unnecessary "Re:"s added to the beginning. Can you make it so that it doesn't append "Re:" to the beginning of a title that already starts with "Re:", so that only one of them ever shows up?

RegExes are not my skill.

If it starts with "Re[2]:", change it to "Re[3]:".
If it starts with "Re[3]:", change it to "Re[4]:".
If it starts with "Re[4]:", change it to "Re[5]:".
If it starts with "Re[5]:", change it to "Re[6]:".
And so on like that...but I'm not a coder. I just get many ideas that only reach the thought phase.

Last view: 5997 days 		just set some sort of variable next to "Re:".
The variable when is 0 doesn't show anything (Normal PM), when you reply that variable's value is increased by 1. when the value is 1 it just shows "Re:". In the rest of the cases it shows "Re" and the value.

This way it just displays how many times the variable (PM) has been replied, instead of using a weird filter.

If I had knowledge of PHP or whatever the code of the board is, I would make it.

$a=1;while($a<200){$title=str_replace("RE[$a]","RE[$a+1]",$title);$a++;}

While a 200 loop is terrible for PHP, is the easiest way around that. Unless your an expert in preg_match and such functions (which I'm not).

Or adding a "is_reply" field in the DB:
$extra="";if($PM_DATA['is_reply'] != 'yes') $extra="RE: ";

I can tell just by reading that -- your code will result in "Re[200]" every time.

Um, it shouldn't, it just trying to replace every RE[] with a number between 1 and 200. In other words, it will only get you a 200 if there is a "RE[199]" in the title...

Last view: 2803 days 		And this, firedude darkwitch, is why you fail.

After fixing it
$a=1;while($a<200){$title=str_replace("RE[$a]","RE[". ($a+1) ."]",$title);$a++;}


I was indeed correct.

I hope you can figure out why. If not, I dare say you are doomed to failure in programming.

Last view: 3225 days 		What about: 

if (preg_match("/^Re \\[(\\d*)\\]: (.*)\$/", $title, $matches)) {
    $title = "Re [".($matches[1]+1)."]: ".$matches[2];
} else if (preg_match("/^Re: (.*)\$/", $title, $matches)) {
    $title = "Re [2]: ".$matches[1];
} else {
    $title = "Re: ".$title;
}


This code should be good for about 231 "Re"s without wrapping, and it's loop free.

Last view: 2803 days 		That second elseif could probably be "if (substr($title, 0, 3) == "Re:") instead...

Not needed, just gotta use regular expressions as Cellar Dweller showed....
