Detect the two first letters from a string? - Fj0rtizFredde - 09.07.2010

Hello

I need some help with detect/take out some parts of a string if it is possible.
Example: Lets say that I have a dialog and I type in "Hello". Is it then possible to just get the two first letters from the the inputtext? So my output will be like: "You word Hello starts with He."

Hope you get what I mean

For example:

pawn Код:

strmid(string, "Hello", 0, 2);

That would make "string" be "He".

Could you show me an example of how to use it with lets say.. Inputtext from one of my dialogs?

Or if anyone else knows a way/example then it would be great

new string[128];
strmid(inputtext, string, 2, strlen(inputtext));

printf("%c%c",inputtext[0],inputtext[1]);
