How to make a check for not-allowed symbols? - HB - 29.03.2009

Hey,

I just wondered, how you could filter out the symbols in sa-mp to prevent that some people do "/changenick &$^&@".
With filtering out I mean making an error to make sure you get an error when you type "/changenick &%$%" for example.
Searching didn't gave me any solutions.

Thanks,

Use

pawn Код:

if(strfind(insert_new_name_string_here, "&") != -1 || 
strfind(insert_new_name_string_here, "$") != -1 || 
strfind(insert_new_name_string_here, "^") != -1 || 
strfind(insert_new_name_string_here, "@") != -1) return SendClientMesssage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid characters!"); 
//Here goes your code to change the nick.

So I have to add all the invalid symbols. Right, isn't there a loop for such a thing?

You could do a loop...

pawn Код:

for(new i = 0; i < new_name_string_length; i++)
{
    switch(new_name_string[i])
    {
        case '&', '$', '@', '^': return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Invalid characters!");
        default: continue;
    }
}
//Here goes your code to change the nick

}
}
