@ krogsgaard20,
To be honest, that tutorial taught me alot.
Good tutorial and good job!

You're right that using small arrays will be better instead of setting them to 128, but, will you really going to count every formatted string you send? Don't you two prefer to just guess the maximum string?

Also, I agree with Y_Less, although I don't know what 3 means. But its true that this one would be better:

pawn Code:

new str[64];
GetPlayerName(playerid,str,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
format(str,sizeof(str),"Hello %s",str);

You can quite easily count the characters you need by looking at the 'Col' value in the bottom-right-corner of Pawno (or any other editor for that matter) for the start and end of the string and subtracting them from each other.

As for point 3 that Y_Less stated, I assume that will pad the string with dots, in some way.

Did you people even noticed that last post was posted 6 months ago and the thread\tutorial created 1 year ago... ?
means you're answering to questions that were asked 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure that most of scripters will prefer to use a specific value for string length, such as 16, 32, 64 and etc instead of using the amount of characters in the string.

Also, using the 'col' value will still require to find the number without spaces, functions or any other type of code that can be found in a line of a string.

That limit is not exclusive to only that function, It's the output's limit.
