RPName

Returns first and last name of an RP style name (e.g. John_Bortch will return John and Bortch). It returns 0 if the RP Name isnt valid

Code:

RPName(name[],ret_first[],ret_last[])
{
	new len = strlen(name),
		point = -1,
		bool:done = false;
	for(new i = 0; i < len; i++)
	{
	  if(name[i] == '_')
	  {
	    if(point != -1) return 0;
	    else {
				if(i == 0) return 0;
				point = i + 1;
			}
	  } else if(point == -1) ret_first[i] = name[i];
	  else {
			ret_last[i - point] = name[i];
			done = true;
		}
	}
	if(!done) return 0;
	return 1;
}

Usage:

Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
	new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], first[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], last[MAX_PLAYER_NAME], ret;
	GetPlayerName(playerid,name,sizeof(name));
	if(RPName(name,first,last))
	{
		// Valid name, player is called first_last
	} else {
	  // Invalid name, deal accordingly
	}
	return 1;
}

strtok

Code:

strtok(string[],&idx,seperator = ' ')
{
	new ret[128], i = 0, len = strlen(string);
	while(string[idx] == seperator && idx < len) idx++;
	while(string[idx] != seperator && idx < len)
	{
	  ret[i] = string[idx];
	  i++;
		idx++;
	}
	while(string[idx] == seperator && idx < len) idx++;
	return ret;
}
