Hello, I've made a command, with a dialog. In the response of this dialog, it takes first 4 characters of the entered text (inputtext) and stores it in "pbInfo[pbid][pbPassword]"

When it sends me that message "you have changed the password to ...", I see it's changed to 3 characters only, not 4, why?

PHP код:

case DIALOG_PB_EDITPW:
        {
            if(isnull(inputtext)) return ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_PB_EDITPW, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, ""COL_WHITE"Setting Paintball password", ""COL_WHITE"First 4 characters are going to be the password:\n\n"COL_RED"The password must be at least 4 characters.", "Select", "Done");
            if(strlen(inputtext) < 4) return ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_PB_EDITPW, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, ""COL_WHITE"Setting Paintball password", ""COL_WHITE"First 4 characters are going to be the password:\n\n"COL_RED"The password must be at least 4 characters.", "Select", "Done");
            new string[128], pbid = pInfo[playerid][InPBLobby], pw[4];
            strmid(pw, inputtext, 0, 3);
            pbInfo[pbid][pbPassword] = pw;
            format(string, sizeof(string), "You have changed the lobby password to %s.", pbInfo[pbid][pbPassword]);
            NGMSG(playerid, string);
        }

The size of pw has to be 5 (4 characters + 1 NULL).

Is the reason you set only the first 4 characters as password so you can copy directly with equal sign? Better use strcpy (strcat but resetting destination) for that matter.

I'm so confused, I don't know how to use strcpy, can you help me please?

Every string has +1 to it because it has NULL_Terminator,
Ex:
5=4

pawn Код:

#if !defined strcpy
    #define strcpy(%0,%1) strcat((%0[0] = EOS, %0), %1)
#endif

pawn Код:

// usage:
strcpy(destination[], const source[], maxlength = sizeof dest)

When you try to copy to enum-array you must specify the size yourself as sizeof wouldn't work.

pawn Код:

strcpy(pbInfo[pbid][pbPassword], pw, size_of_pbPassword);
