Can someone explain this code to me? - lramos15 - 12.10.2013

I have
PHP код:
format(FactionInfo[fID][fName],100,inputtext); 
But I don't know why you need the 100 there or the format? I was thinking just
PHP код:
FactionInfo[fID][fName] = inputtext; 
but that gives me this error

It specifies the size of the array.

100 is the size of fName[HERE] in enum, inputtext has undefined size so error because u can't set array[100] = inputtext[undefined_size];

So Jeff you're saying that code won't work?

The second method would only work if both strings had the same size. If their lenghts do not match, then it gives the warning.

You format to FactionInfo[fID][fName] with max lenght of the string to 100 what inputtext "holds" in it. format is a bit slower than other methods, for example strcat or strins is faster.

In format works

Re: Can someone explain this code to me? - lramos15 - 12.10.2013

So the format allows for the inputtext to be equal to 100 characters?

Re: Can someone explain this code to me? - Konstantinos - 12.10.2013

The inputtext can be even higher on lenght; however FactionInfo[fID][fName] will only store 99 characters + NULL.
