I did a quick print test and deleted part of a string str[20]; str = "a string that's 20."; strdel(str, 10, 20); Then printed the remaining part, that was supposed to be deleted: print(str[11]); "hat's 20." So I made my own version that loops from the start to end and sets them all to 0. Not sure if this is a function bug or I have a crappy version defined somewhere.

Strings are zero-terminated, meaning they're read until the first zero. Ex:

pawn Код:

new test[] = {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 0, 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'};

print(test);

That would print "hello" because the string ends at the 0 after that.

Deleting after the 0 is pretty much useless and inefficient (unless you're planning to use the array for something other than strings).
