Hi there,

The use of strcmp (string compare) is easy. But, it can be a little bit tricky for beginners. There is 4 parameters in the function:

• String number 1
• String number 2
• Case sensitivity (boolean) (NOT REQUIRED, will give false if not specified)
• Length (NOT REQUIRED)

You may use it like that:

pawn Code:

String1 = "Hello";
  String2 = "hello";
  printf("%d", strcmp(String1, String2, false)); // will print "-1" as it is case sensitive because of the third parameter which is false.
  printf("%d", strcmp(String1, String2, true)); // will print "0" as the strings are matching.

That is how you use strcmp. Strcmp is also used for creating commands such as /kill, here is an example:

pawn Code:

if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/kill", true) == 0) // You may also use "!strcmp(cmdtext, "/kill", true))".
  {
    SetPlayerHealth(playerid, 0.0);
    return 1;
  }

Have fun scripting.
