Replacing characters inside a string - TwinkiDaBoss - 16.11.2016

Alright so I've stumbled upon a problem while creating this, I am simply trying to make something that will replace certain parts (random parts) of a string.

Example

Normal String:

Quote:

Hello World

Output should have 10 random characters:

Quote:

Now currently my system is kinda glitchy.
1. It will replace few characters with exactly the same letter. For example it will replace 5 characters with a character S
2. Sometimes it will cut down the string. So for example you write "Hello world" and you will get the output "P"

pawn Код:

new LetterList[26][] =
{
    "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z"
};
stock strReplaceChar(string[128]) {
    new text_lenght = strlen(string),
        rr = random(text_lenght);

    for(new i=0; i < text_lenght; i++) {
        if(!strcmp(string, " ")) continue; //just to avoid cutting down the spaces
        strreplace(string, string[rr], LetterList[random(sizeof(LetterList))], true, .maxlength = 128);
    }
    return string;
}

PHP код:



new LetterList[] =

{

    'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z'

};


stock strReplaceChar(string[]) {

    for(new i=0, j=strlen(string); i < j; i++) {

        if(string[i] == ' ') continue; //just to avoid cutting down the spaces

        string[i] = LetterList[random(sizeof(LetterList))];

    }

    return string;

}

Is that what you wanted?

Yep thats the one, thanks mate, I didnt even notice I was using strcmp also there, replaced that with strfind.

Re: Replacing characters inside a string - SickAttack - 16.11.2016

No need for strfind as you're comparing just one character on both ends, you can just compare both of the cells' numeric value.

You're welcome.

Re: Replacing characters inside a string - TwinkiDaBoss - 16.11.2016

Yeah thats even better, thanks for the tip mate!

Re: Replacing characters inside a string - SickAttack - 16.11.2016

Yeah, YW again!

Just another thing, warping a character in single quotes gives you its numeric value.

Damn bro I was going ham earlier wrapping everything in singlequotes, got too used to doing web development hahaha

If you want it even simpler, this works as well:

PHP код:



new letterList[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

Or you can use minrandom/randomEx with 'A' through 'Z', cutting out the array entirely.
