It goes where log output goes which may be to the BBS's local console, to windows in the Synchronet Control Panel, to files, to the Windows NT event viewer, to *nix syslog (and whatever it does with it) - so yeah, log() messages can go all kinds of places.ãã digital manããSynchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #42:ãISDN = Integrated Services Digital NetworkãNorco, CA WX: 83.5øF, 50.0% humidity, 14 mph E wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

This means thatãyou have to spell out 'function () {}' in full, and you must explicitly return a value.ããThis won't work, but to illustrate the equivalent syntax:ãã const dupUser = dup_list.find(function (e) {ã return e.number === edit;ã });ããHowever our Array object does not have a 'find' method, which is also new, so that's a no-go.ããThere are other ways to achieve this:ãã var dupUser;ã for (var n = 0; n < dup_list.length; n++) {ã if (dup_list[n].number !== edit) continue;ã dupUser = dup_list[n];ã break;ã }ããOr:ãã var dupUser;ã dup_list.some(function (e) {ã if (e.number !== edit) return false;ã dupUser = e;ã return true;ã });ããOr you could put a polyfill at the top of your script:ãã Array.prototype.find = function (f) {ã var ret;ã var self = this;ã this.some(function (e, i) {ã if (!f(e)) return false;ã ret = self[i];ã return true;ã });ã return ret;ã }ããAnd then 'find' would be available on Array and my "this won't work" example above would actually work.ããIn any of the above cases, dupUser will either be the element from your dup_list array, or it will beãundefined.ãã---ãechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã
