The loop keeps going while the current character is not empty. Anyway, if you want to use YSI, and not custom functions (frankly a silly position but there we go), there is an "isnumeric" function in there already (a better one than both posted here btw): pawn Код: /**--------------------------------------------------------------------------**\ <summary>isnumeric</summary> <param name="str[]">String to check</param> <returns>     - </returns> <remarks>     Checks if a given string is numeric. </remarks> \**--------------------------------------------------------------------------**/ stock isnumeric(str[]) {     P:7("isnumeric called: \"%s\"", str);     new         i;     while (IS_IN_RANGE(str[i], '0', '9' + 1)) ++i;     //while ((ch = str[i++])) if (!('0' <= ch <= '9')) return 0;     return !str[i]; }

I never said I didn't want to use custom functions. I said I don't like taking random code that people post online. If someone posts code for something, I usually try to rewrite it better and differently so I understand it and so I'm not just taking peoples code.

So does the loop use the assignment statement like it would use "i < MAX_PLAYERS" and when it hits "NULL", it stops? I'm just confused as to how the assignment also acts as a comparison.

Like I clearly stated in the post, suppose the the string IS numeric. Why would it stop?

I didn't ask what it did. Your reply clearly shows how well you read.
