Question on "Contains" Rule: When Text Contains XXYZ

VoidedSky

Hello all! Do any of you know howI can do the following:

CODE
---Rule: when game.text contains XXYZ (IN ANY ORDER! XXZY, YXZX, YZXX, XZXY,ZXYX, etc....)
--Do ...........

END CODE

Is there any way to have GS find out if it contains all of the characters, but in any order? Sometimes, game.text will need to contain multiple of each letter, like shown above. Any ideas?
Thanks

i think you might have to just code in every possible combination

That's what I thought. Thanks.

I would assign different values to the letters. For example:

X = 100
Y = 10
Z = 1

If you are looking for a combination of 2 X's, 1 Y, and 1 Z, then the sum of the four letter combination would be 211.

Here's a demo for you:

nice fix jack

Asymptoteell

Just make rule with ALL true containsX, contains X, contains Y, Contains Z

Thanks JackBQuick! I'll take a look at the demo when I get back on my Mac.

@Asymptoteell, I tried that, but you only need one X for it to think there is two Xs.
Thanks guys.

That makes sense.

I tried to make the demo file downloadable but I can't see the link.

Here it is from my Dropbox account:

All the best.
