When the Attribute is "DC: Build it, Destroy it (3-6)", for some reason with your code it is showing up as "Build it, Destroy it (3-" I adjusted the 5 to 8 in your code until it got rid of all of the parenthetical at the end but I don't understand why it needed to be 8 because I don't see 8 characters at the end. I'm worried that this won't work when there is a different length in the middle... | |
