Making Unlimited string args for a function - Jonny5 - 29.04.2012

okay im trying to pass unlimited arguments to a function,
the hard part is getting the string from the argument

let my code explain,
this creates a db table with the fields passed to the function

but i keep getting an error

pawn Код:

stock CreateNewDbTable(tbl_name[],...)
{
    new str_Query[256];
    
    strcat(str_Query,"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `");
    strcat(str_Query,tbl_name);
    strcat(str_Query,"` (");
    
    for (new i = 1,i_n_a=numargs(); i < i_n_a ; ++i)
    {
        if (i>2) strcat(str_Query,",");
        strcat(str_Query,"`");
        strcat(str_Query,getarg(i));//<~~~~type mismatch error here.
        strcat(str_Query,"`");
    }
    
    strcat(str_Query,")");
    db_query(j5ud,str_Query);
    return 1;
}

and i use it like so..

pawn Код:

CreateNewDbTable("USERS",
                    "NAME",
                    "PASSWORD",
                    "IP",
                    "ALIAS",
                    "EXP",
                    "LEVEL",
                    "FLAGS",
                    "SCORE",
                    "CASH",
                    "X",
                    "Y",
                    "Z",
                    "A",
                    "INTERIOR",
                    "VWORLD");

the pawn ref says getarg() can take a second argument

getarg(arg, index=0)

to indicate the start of an array
iv tried

pawn Код:

getarg(i,0)

but just get an argument type mismatch.

hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.
thanks

Show me how u declare the new variable "getarg".

EDIT:

Disregard this statement, i just worked out it is an old native function.

Re: Making Unlimited string args for a function - Jonny5 - 29.04.2012

its part of the pawn language!

i made many functions like this in the past, but none of them took a string as an argument.

Edit:
ops yeah its part of pawns core.
Im thinking i will be told this is not possible without the string include...
Im not sure yet im still hunting for the info.

Re: Making Unlimited string args for a function - Jonny5 - 29.04.2012

iv tried that!
also with that I would need to know the length of the string ahead of time,
which will defeat the function.

using

pawn Код:

getarg(i,0)

gives an argument type mismatch (argument 2)

EDIT:
I take that back that post did help
as it lead to this http://forum.sa-mp.com/showpost.php?...&postcount=534
and that was the solution

thanks!

Re: Making Unlimited string args for a function - Reynolds - 29.04.2012

AFAIK, the correct method is

Код:

{Float,_}:...

Put that in your parameter list (to the very end), and it should accept infinite numbers of arguments. I am pretty sure you can't define just one of a kind of these infinite stuff.

Anyhow, I don't have a clue how to use them inside your function, I'm sure somebody knows the answer.
