String Length

[Starquizer]

What is the maximum string length that can be saved in a hashtable ?

 

[ap0calypse]

4096 ( = 2^12) characters apparently (this also seems to be the maximum string limit).

You know, for these kind of questions it's just better to test it by yourself.

I am asking this question because I want to make multi-dimension array system by saving the array data in a string.

I mean you can test it by yourself and you will be 100 % sure of the answer, nothing else.

Also playing with strings when you're not supposed to use them, is not a really good idea in jass, because it's likely you will have many strings "leaks".
And you can't do anything about that, excepted avoid them.

local integer i = 0
local string s = ""
local hashtable h = InitHashtable()
loop
     call SaveStr(h,0,0,I2S(1 x (10 ^ i)))
     set s = LoadStr(h,0,0)
     if S2I(s) <= 0 then
          call DebugMsg(I2S(i))
          exitwhen true
     endif
     set i = i + 1
endloop

Just run this and you have your answer. could always put set i = i + 10, 50, 100, etc. if it lags too bad. Also, you have to fix (10 ^ i), not at WE atm so i cant remember the function

Thanks guys, but Nestharus already told me that a system like the one I was about to make will be too slow.

What system are you making?

 

[Starquizer]

Multi-Dimensional Array using string, something like that

"[2,1,5,3,4]=1048820/" then do a string search.

Nes already created a "super pimp multi-dimensional arrays with ubersauce"-system (actual Nes-quote), Catalog.
Strings are indeed slow though (and they also leak ).

Well, that would be hard for me; Nes is a smart guy that makes smart and strange systems so I am always having difficulties using his systems which is really frustrating for a someone like me .

y not just use zinc it has "real" 2d arrays

y not just use zinc it has "real" 2d arrays

Unfortunately, I have zero knowledge about Zinc

no it just adds +4096 to the array number
