strcmpi issue - Mordaunt - 11-15-2012 10:35 AM
Looking at world gembits with spawn groups attached.
This:
if !(strcmpi(*<more1>*,*spawn*))
Never returns true while:
if (strcmpi(*<more1>*,*spawn*))
returns true even when it's not.
<more1> contains "spawn_<dungeonname><lvl>"
So with the wildcards it should technically return true if the word spawn appears under more1.
So why doesn't it?

try:
Code:
if (<serv.spawn.<more1>>) //true if it's a [spawn x] block
//code
else
//code
endifRE: strcmpi issue - RanXerox - 11-15-2012 11:30 AM
The value in MORE1 is numeric... you cant compare a string to a numeric result.

And yet returns a string on t_spawn_char gembits

Think of it like a defname which maps a name to a number... Things like spawn_orcs will resolve to a number of some sort... but spawn_* cannot be looked up.

I thought I told you this before... you can't use a wild card with strcmpi!
Have a look at this page http://wiki.sphere.torfo.org/index.php/Intrinsic_Functions
what you need is strmatch or strregex.
RE: strcmpi issue - Mordaunt - 11-15-2012 10:58 PM
Strmatch also doesn't function on it
RE: strcmpi issue - Ben - 11-16-2012 09:08 AM
IF (STRMATCH("*spawn*","<more1>")) should be what you are looking for.
RE: strcmpi issue - Skul - 11-16-2012 01:14 PM
well if <more1> is giving you some hex like number, why not resolve it?
Code:
if (strmatch(*spawn*,<serv.spawn.<more1>.defname>))RE: strcmpi issue - Mordaunt - 11-16-2012 11:05 PM
It never was giving a number...
Ben's method resolved it anyway
