Events parameters give out additional [']

[Tristhan]

Hiya,

i am getting some strange results from a parameter within event.
Whenever my Test Event triggers the string "myName" returns [Toonname']
How can i avoid the ['] ? Any idea ?

Thank you in advance.

1.

#Event Test "#*#Test #1# #2#"

/gu Test TargetToonName MyToonName

Sub Event_Test(string Line, string targetName, string myName,)

/echo ${myName} -> result [Toonname']
/if (${myName.Equal[${Me.CleanName}']}) -> returns TRUE


2. Does it make any different if i write
#Event Test "#*#Test #1# #2#" or
#Event Test "#*#Test #1# #2# (without " at the end)

#Event Test "#*#Test #1# #2#'"

[Tristhan]

#Event Test "#*#Test #1# #2#'"

Thank you, that makes sense
So i need to add ['] at the end of the eventline when the last parameter is a placeholder like #2# ?

Exactly. Your event line is telling MQ2 that you want everything following the space after #1# to be stored into #2#. By adding the ['] you're telling it to store everything following the space after #1# until it hits an ['] character.

Here's the catch! It could prematurely cut off what you wanted stored in #2# if you do it the way I suggested. Here's an example (and it seems like you understand it pretty well, so this explanation is more for other readers new to MQ2 events):

#Event Test "#*#Test #1# #2#'"
Chrom says, 'Vaion enjoys long walks on Test beautiful Miami Beach'
...becomes...
Chrom says, 'Vaion enjoys long walks on Test ${Param1} ${Param2}'
#*# = Vaion enjoys long walks on
#1# becomes ${Param1} = beautiful
#2# becomes ${Param2} = Miami Beach

Chrom says, 'Vaion enjoys long walks on Test beautiful Miami's beach'
...becomes...
Chrom says, 'Vaion enjoys long walks on Test ${Param1} ${Param2}s beach'
#*# = Vaion enjoys long walks on
#1# becomes ${Param1} = beautiful
#2# becomes ${Param2} = Miami

Thank you for the fast help and the nice explanation
