The title says it all.


How could I find a players first name on their name string?

Say I have:

Test_Name

How could I get it to just send on a text - Welcome back, Test.

Instead of Welcome back, Test_Name.

Thanks.

do it with sscanf2 ^^
parse FirstName, search for the '_', the second name is a {quiet} parameter, so aSecondName is not required:

pawn Code:

sscanf(PlayerName,"s[24]'_'{s[24]}",FirstName);

i <3 the '_' search function, maybe the p<_> delimeter could do that too..

Mate, thanks for that.

BUT

It's confusing looking! -.- :')

Could you possibly explain it to me a little more? :3 like, maybe put it in a stock? D:

Thanks! <3

You can also use strdel to delete part of the player's name :

pawn Code:

stock GetPlayerFirstName(playerid)
{
    new NickName[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, NickName, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    strdel(NickName, strfind(NickName, "_"), strlen(NickName));
    return NickName;
}

I hope that i have helped .

That looks like it only deletes the '_' :O

Does it delete all after the _ and the _ too? :3
