Reading notecard of av keys, converting to av names

[GloriaGlitter]

Hi there - I was given a dump of our group members keys.  For my project, I need a notecard of legacy names rather than keys.  So I thought I'd write a quick script to read the notecard and output the legacy names which I'd cut and paste from the chat window to a notecard.  My script correctly reads the notecard which I can see by the first llOwnerSay but the  llRequestAgentData doesn't give the corresponding legacy name but some other key.  I imagine I have made an error in the dataserver part of the script.

Using notecard called 'keylist' with 3 keys to test:

8cdf1317-e9c2-41f6-a0e3-793f69fc76dc
5b6e2121-5847-4b84-a260-3dd37f4d0d65
2d55c505-9530-40a9-a153-ce3878b0314b

this is my script:

string NOTECARD = "keylist";    //Name of notecard containing group member keys
key namekey;
string resident;
integer intLine1 = 0;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        namekey = llGetNotecardLine(NOTECARD, 0);
    }

   dataserver(key keyQueryId, string Data)
    {
        if (keyQueryId == namekey)
        {
        if (Data != EOF)   
 
            namekey = llGetNotecardLine(NOTECARD, ++intLine1);
          
           llOwnerSay("namekey = " + (string)Data);   //test to check notecard read ok
           resident = llRequestAgentData(Data, DATA_NAME);
           llOwnerSay ("Resident = " + resident);
         }
      }
 
   touch_start(integer x)
   {
     llResetScript();
   }
}

that's because llRequestAgentData triggers another data event like reading the notecard, and the key you're seeing is the data event key

 

this should work....

string NOTECARD = "keylist";    //Name of notecard containing group member keys
key namekey;
key resident;
integer intLine1 = 0;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        namekey = llGetNotecardLine(NOTECARD, 0);
    }

   dataserver(key keyQueryId, string Data)
    {
        if(keyQueryId == namekey)
        {
        	if(Data != EOF)
			{
                llOwnerSay("namekey = " + (string)Data);   //test to check notecard read ok
           		resident = llRequestAgentData(Data, DATA_NAME);
			}
			else
			{
				llOwnerSay("End of notecard");
			}
         }
		else if (keyQueryId == resident)
		{
			llOwnerSay ("Resident = " + resident);
			namekey = llGetNotecardLine(NOTECARD, ++intLine1);
		}
      }
 
   touch_start(integer x)
   {
     llResetScript();
   }
}

Thanks Ruthven for quick response.   This still gives me a data event key instead of the legacy name - this was the output in the chat window I got just now with the amended code:

  namekey = 8cdf1317-e9c2-41f6-a0e3-793f69fc76dc
  Resident = 1091b48e-18c3-86f5-a92a-79dad7035e21
  namekey = 5b6e2121-5847-4b84-a260-3dd37f4d0d65
  Resident = 1c4dcdc1-bd7c-e70d-318d-3c63d5829477
  namekey = 2d55c505-9530-40a9-a153-ce3878b0314b
  Resident = cc86f9c6-8227-9fd5-65f7-cb9fb434e7b6
  End of notecard

Any ideas?

Typo here:

llOwnerSay ("Resident = " + resident);

Should be:

llOwnerSay ("Resident = " + Data);

The variable resident is the identifying key for the query. Data is the result of that query.

Thanks KT - that resolved it

Thanks, I was on my way to bed when I responded, lol

Since we now have the ability to change our legacy names, it's worth pointing out that you should design with this in mind.

 Will your product break if someone changes their legacy name? Will they miss out on something, or have to restart their progress?

Good point Wulfie.  In this case I had a one -off need to convert a list of about 2000 avatar keys into their legacy names.  If someone does change their legacy name will their key also change?

Their key will stay the same.
