Anyone working on a modding tool yet?

I have a nifty VB library of functions for working with MM style datafiles if you want.

You do? VB 6, VB.NET, or some other Version? Post them, I might be able to use those... nah, I never get anything done

Most of it is meant for dealing with one-liner strings from the text files.
For example,
X$ = addvalue(X$,n)
This looks for the := and then adds n to the number it finds there. Non-numbers or words count as zero and are changed into just n.

"Get/Set first pos number" is for those "Ability # name := blah blah" type lines.
The "Get/Set nth value" functions is a generalization of the previous, and is great for working on the damage at range line.

You don't like comments, do you, SJ?

I've been spoiled by the latest IDEs' "you type a dot after something and it tells you all its properties and methods" and "you type an opening parenthesis and it tells you all the function's arguments"... and I STILL need comments to jog my memory!

Heh. What's a comment, and how do I do a goto in this language?

Heh... at least it's a goto you want, and not a comefrom
