String work

[heedicalking]

Working with strings a bit. Gonna update this if I need any help.
1: Is there any kind of strContains function? Basically to see if a string contains some kind of word?
%str = "Hello there";
if(strContains(%str,"Hello"))
echo("contains");

if(striPos(%str, "string") != -1)

[Scars75]

strStr(%str, "asdf") would return the position inside %str "asdf" is located at and returns -1 if it doesn't exist. You could use that to make a strContains function.

Code: [Select]

function strContains(%strA, %strB)
return strStr(%strA, %strB) != -1;

ANOTHER QUESTION completely unrelated! Is there a limit to the number of args you can send to a client?

I know for sure that the maximum number of arguments in a function is 19. It might be less for networking stuff.

I am trying to use 8 and it seems slayer has a clientCmd that uses 8 so it must work. The problem is I keep trying but the 8th argument doesn't seem to be received (or sent?). Is there a data limit?

Did you test appropriately? Like, echos and manual data passed to the function?

[heedicalking]

yes i did test all of that DUH. i guess i did that all more nothing because it turns out i overwrote the function somewhere else without including that extra arg!

[Port]

Functions used through networking have the same argument limit as normal functions, however the maximum amount of data you can receive from one packet is ~256 bytes.

How do you calculate the amount of bytes something is?

strLen(string), assuming Torque doesn't use some forgeted up character system.
