How do i find and delete variables with same prefix from profilenamespace?

[Atlas1205 14]

for example, when im trying to reset my mission on a server, which has player status saved into the server's profilenamespace as variables, and they are all in a format a 'rum_(player UID)". 

what kind of code can i use to set all variables starting with "rum_" to nil?

 

call me silly, but i've tried this, and the result was disastrous...

private _gameanduid = format ["rum_%1",_i];
for "_i" from 0 to 99999999999999999 do {profilenamespace setVariable [_gameanduid,nil]};

hint str _a;
_a = _b + _c;
_b = 1;
_c = 2;

I don't understand why this doesn't work? Please help!

It was a joke, you are using variable before defining it. This is like basics, man. Anyway this is how you can clean profile namespace:

 

{
	if (_x find "rum_" == 0) then 
	{
		profileNamespace setVariable [_x, nil];
	};
}
forEach allVariables profileNamespace;
saveProfileNamespace;

is there a workaround? i see there's an example on community wiki, but not sure how to do it.

currently making a mission that stores player status to server's profilenamespace, so  I myself come up with a workround, that is storing all player data to one variable, and setting it to nil would be all i need to do to reset the progress.

you could create an array and store all UIDs since server start / last reset in it. Then you have all the variable names you need.
