Scriptcards - using substring in condition

The following script rolls multiple tables and presents the values. The only part that isn't working is the Foci section. Any suggestions? !scriptcard {{   --#title|Quick Character Generator   --=Class|[T#QuickClass]   --+|[$Class.tableEntryText]   --=Background|[T#QuickBS]   --+|[$Background.tableEntryText]   --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Smart"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociESm] --]|       --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Smooth"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociESo]     --]|      --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Nimble"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociEN]     --]|     --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Melee"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociWM]     --]|    --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Ranged"|[      --=Foci|[T#QuickFociWR]      --]|     --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Leader"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociWL]     --+|[$QuickFociWL.tableEntryText]     --]|     --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Seer"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociPS]     --]|      --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Adept"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociPA]     --]   --+Foci|[&Foci]   --=Bonus|[T#QuickBonus]   --+|[$Bonus.tableEntryText] }}

You are assigning Foci as a roll variable, but are referencing it in your output statement as if it were a string variable (using [&...] syntax).

OK, I tweaked the script and it is working, almost.  If I put   --+Foci|[$Foci.tableEntryText] after each     --=Foci|[T#table] line, the output is the Foci values for each condition.

The condition goes before the |, right after the ?. Also, any time it is possible that a value includes spaces, it is best to put quotes around it. This:   --?|[$Class.tableEntryText] -inc "Adept"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociPA]     --] should be:   --?"[$Class.tableEntryText]" -inc "Adept"|[     --=Foci|[T#QuickFociPA]     --]
