I, for one, forgot we were discussing scripting, as most of what I do is basically use gCLI.

And the funny thing is in the end, if this is implemented, I will actually be invoking it from an ash script even though we are talking about a cli function.
Something like:
Code:
Record Mall_set
{
int Price;
int Limit;
int Quantity;
};
typedef MallSet [item] mallitemset;
//maxint has become my universal ash replacement for * in cli
int maxint = 2147483647;
void mall_dump(mallitemset set)
{
string temp_command = "mallsell ";
foreach key in set
{
if(set[key].Quantity == maxint)
{
temp_command = temp_command + "* " + key + " @ " + set[key].Price + " limit " + set[key].Limit + ", ";
}
else
{
temp_command = temp_command + set[key].quantity + " " + key + " @ " + set[key].Price + " limit " + set[key].Limit + ", ";
}
}
if(temp_command != command)
{
//trim last camma space pair
temp_command = substring(temp_command, 0, last_index_of(temp_command, ", " ) - 1);
cli_execute(temp_command);
}
}
Which will build the cli command using the proposed new abilities of Kolmafia to make Item transfers to the mall more server friendly. I figure that we are using the cli version of the command simply because all ash functions are 1 item at a time versus other cli functions can handle multiple items at once.
Effectively what I am saying is my opinion about the actual format of the final command should be considered, but not held as highly as those who may actually work with it more than once. I will be doing some minor touch ups to the code above to fit the final format, and fix any mistakes, then because of "import" I will probably not see the code again for months unless I am showing it to someone else for some reason. The actual usage of it will become a daily thing almost instantly.
(Whispers: I already have some scripts ready to be switched over to import the above, and it may be as simple as uncomment the new comment out the old.) ;D
