Where do you get the error? Comment in those codes the line with the errors.

Re: error 037: invalid string (possibly non-terminated string) - Patrick - 06.03.2013

i get the error on this line:

pawn Код:
"yellow"/search - "white"Searches a player.\n\",


Re: error 037: invalid string (possibly non-terminated string) - Jstylezzz - 06.03.2013

pawn Код:
"yellow"/search - "white"Searches a player.\n\",
You forgot the " to close the string.

Try
pawn Код:
"yellow"/search - "white"Searches a player.\n\"",

Ignore: You have to use '#' when inserting a defined color into a string...

@****** i dont know why. i just quoted it on [ pawn ][ / pawn ] and as you said. it show's blue. but on pawno it doesn't show as blue to me. it show's black

EDIT
@Catalyst- thank you for your edited code! works!
