How to check if a string variable has nothing?
Headcrab Zombie:
Interesting, didn't know that.
Reinforcements:
So, is "$=" for string comparison and "==" for number comparison? What would be the one if a string isn't equal to another. Something like this perhaps?
--- Code: ---if(%theString $! "")
{
<code>
}
--- End code ---
Headcrab Zombie:
!$=

If it's a string, you have to use $= ""
if you just use == 0 it will always be true because trying to convert a string to a number will always be 0

Thanks

I use:
if (%str $= "")
or
if (strlen(%str) == 0)
both work to check if a string contains nothing.
