objectives out of objectiveFullText

Hi,

so am taking objectiveFullText = GetQuestLogLeaderBoard(questID)

and i would like to remove the objective information off the quest EG: (0/1)

i been using

Code:

arg1, agr2 = string.match(text, "(.-%S)%s(.*)")

the problem is in some languages the objective information is at the end of the quest EG:

0/1 Kill Cat Boss
Kill Cat Boss: 0/1

I made this but it seems to be a bit to much and it will only work for quests with 0/4 at the start but at least it shows all the text on non English clients

Code:

        if text == nil then

                return L["N/A"], L["N/A"]

        end

        local makeString = nil

        local dig1, dig2 = string.match( text, "(%d*)/(%d*)")

        AJM:Print("test", dig1, dig2)

        if (dig1  and dig2) then

                local arg1, arg2 = string.match(text, "(.-%S)%s(.*)")

                AJM:Print("testm", arg1, "A", arg2)

                makeString = dig1..L["/"]..dig2 

                

        end

        AJM:Print("test1", makeString, text)

        if makeString ~= nil then

                

                local arg1, arg2 = string.match(text, "(.-%S)%s(.*)")

                local textFind = string.find(arg1, "(%d*)")

                AJM:Print("text", textFind)

                if textFind then

                        return makeString, arg2

                else

                        return makeString, text

                end        

                        

        else

                return L["DONE"] , text

        end

thanks for any help

I think you'd be interested in the GetQuestObjectiveInfo function.

local objectiveText, objectiveType, finished, numFulfilled, numRequired = GetQuestObjectiveInfo(questID, objectiveIndex)

return numFulfilled .. "/" .. numRequired

I think you can set it to 0.

Infact i do have objectiveIndex. A lot easyer using that. Now:

I need a way to remove the 0/1 text from the quest text be it at the front or end and olny that ( sorry tried) as if not my frame show column 1( 0/1 text ) column 2 ( 0/1 )

Thanks
