[HELP] Finding whole words in a string? - Ibanez - 04.04.2010

Hey, I need some help... Is there any way on finding a whole word in a string? example: If i wanted to find the word "Brock".

Code:

My name is Brock

Would find the word Brock.

Code:

My name is Brockaleana

Would not find the word Brock.

If anyone could help me with this it would be much appreciated!

Use the explode or split function by Denver, and split on space.

put this under OnPlayerText(playerid, text[])

Code:

new str[128];
format(str, 128, "%s", text);
			new start;
			for(new letter; letter<strlen(str); letter++)
		  {
			  start = strfind(str, "Word", true); //Checking if word from list can be found in the message
			  if(start != -1) //If The word is found
				{
					if(letter == start)
				  {
                   
				  // Do Something here
					return 1; // return 0; if you dont want the text to be shown.
	        }
				}
}

i used this code as my swear filter i hope you can use this for what you need it.
