Insert a string into a variable - Deal-or-die - 18.09.2012

Ergh.. It's late and I am forgetting the simplest of all things.. Ahh..

How would I put 'inputtext' into 'Businessname'?

example

pawn Код:

Business[playerid][bName] = inputtext;

As the line above produces this error

Код:

error 047: array sizes do not match, or destination array is too small

Use format

Ex:

pawn Код:

format(Business[playerid][bName],sizeof Business[playerid][bName], "%s", inputtext);

Ahh of course, Cheers.

This gave me too many errors

pawn Код:

format(Business[playerid][bName],sizeof Business[playerid][bName], "%s", inputtext);

So I just used this instead

pawn Код:

format(Business[playerid][bName],50,inputtext);

Also when checking if the input was empty, how would I do that?

This gives me an error but must be something similar

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(inputtext, 0, false))
                {
                    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREY, "Please insert a name or return to the menu.");
                }

Guess I'd just use

pawn Код:

if(isnull(inputtext))
                {
                    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREY, "Please insert a name or return to the menu.");
                }

Use strcat() instead of the format method, works better. (had problems myself with format)

Also, to check the input: strlen().
