Get the 'Firstname' from Firstname_lastname format - Jack_Leslie - 12.07.2011

How would you get the Firstname from a Firstname_Lastname format? So get every text in the name before the first "_". Then if there is no "_" then you just get the whole name. is it possible?

pawn Код:

stock GetPlayerFirstName(playerid)
{
    new
        namestring[2][MAX_PLAYER_NAME],
        name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

    GetPlayerName(playerid,name,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    split(name, namestring, '_');
    return namestring[0];
}

stock GetPlayerLastName(playerid)
{
    new
        namestring[2][MAX_PLAYER_NAME],
        name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

    GetPlayerName(playerid,name,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    split(name, namestring, '_');
    return namestring[1];
}

Not sure who created it, but it sure as hell wasn't me. Oh, and i'll include the last name version of it aswell.
