duh, thanks. Btw, is there another way the strcmp? will sscanf work?

Re: Annoying errors.. - LarzI - 02.09.2010

Sscanf and strcmp are two extremely different functions.
Strcmp (aka String Compare) is used to compare two strings.
Sscanf is way more advanced, and is not used for string comparison.

i knew it compaired 2 strings, i just didnt know all the features of sscanf :P

sscanf is more of a strlen, tmp, and strtok sort of thing all in one.

You can do multiple things with it, not only using it to check if they typed the cmd with params, but also to get information -- even from MySQL data.

It kinda does, but it does as the same time (not optional) many other things, which are unecaserry in your case.
That is why you should just use strcmp

You could also do something like this though:

pawn Код:

if( name[ 0 ] == "P" && name[ 1 ] == "u" && name[ 2 ] == "r" && name[ 3 ] == "p" && name[ 4 ] == "l" && name[ 5 ] == "e" && name[ 6 ] == "H" && name[ 7 ] == "a" && name[ 8 ] == "z" && name[ 9 ] == "e" )

But as you see, that is way slower than just using strcmp (slower to write that is.. Dunno if it's faster to check each cell manually, but I think that's just what strcmp does)
