[Resolved] Request Checker for GC301VP

[Resolved] Request Checker for GC301VP
December 07, 2022 04:38PM
I request a checker for an old grandfathered challenge -- GC301VP.

Requirements are to find 14 caches; 7 with the word "why" in the title, and 7 with the letter y in the title separated from other words or abbreviations.

Results to look something like:

Y:
1. GC24B2Z, Y Hike?, 7.2.2010
2. GC999B, Y Trail, 7.2.2010
3. GC242FH, Y Not?, 7.2.2010
4. GC24RZR, UT Valley Hiking #3 - Watch the Balloons from the Y, 7.2.2010
5. GCG6Z4, "Y" Cache, 4.18.2010
6. GC1KH1J, "Y" Look Here?...A Quick Stop TB Motel, 10.10.2009
7. GC16XT6, "Y", 6.26.2009

Why:
1. GC1DM65, Why Can't I park Here?, 4.23.2011
2. GC254NE, Why wasn't one here?, 1.11.2011
3. GC1TZCM,Why can't I hide it up there?, 6.23.2009
4. GC18B19, Why Not?, 4.11.2009
5. GC1FDEP, Why here?, 1.18.2009
6. GC1CWAV, Why Do I Geocache? Remind Me!!, 1.15.2009
7. GC12QA5, Why?, 6.18.2008

Thank you. That was extremely fast!

I tested it and got mixed results.
1. For those who have completed the challenge, it works perfect.
2. For those who have not yet found any qualifying caches, it works perfect listing "No suitable cache found" 14 times following "You currently have:".
3. But for those who have made some progress by finding some qualifying caches but have not yet completed the challenge, it does not work other than stating that they have not completed the challenge. After "You currently have:", the script output stops and does not list any of the qualifying caches they have found, nor does it list any cache they haven't found. In other words, no progress is shown for this in-between group.

Is this something that can be fixed for those who have made some progress but have not completed the challenge?

That does not sound very promissing
Here is a checker based on another script https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC301VP/73417

Please test again

Thank you. We are getting closer.

It looks perfect except for the numbers. The current script is suggesting that only 10 qualifying caches are needed. But there are 14 qualifying caches needed -- 7 for "Y" and 7 for "why."

After the numbers are fixed, then it should be fine. There is no need to have the Owner column in the script output. It is preferable to take out that column, but it is fine if it is left in.

Again thank you for your hard work and quick responses. I am grateful.
