Getting half of a players name - jackx3rx - 24.12.2014

If a players name is David_Smith and I only wanted to get the first half (David), how would I do so?

I want a command for example:

ID 1 is David_Smith

/whois 1 > displays "David, Age %i"

But I don't know how to grab the first part, 'David'?

String to short ?

PHP код:



new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], string[24+MAX_PLAYER_NAME];

PHP код:



    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, sizeof(name));

PHP код:



    format(string, sizeof(string), "%s Age %d.", name,'variableofyear');

    SendClientMessageToAll(-1, string);

No I want it to only display 'David' rather than 'David_Smith', so only the players firstname.

And I want it to work with all different sizes of names so 'Elizabeth_Rudolph', would give me 'Elizabeth'.

Something like this?

pawn Код:

stock GetPlayerFirstName(playerid)
{
    new NickName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, NickName, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    strdel(NickName, strfind(NickName, "_"), strlen(NickName));
    return NickName;
}

pawn Код:

sscanf(PlayerName,"s[24]'_'{s[24]}",FirstName);
