[solved][C-Script] Crash using str_stri with text object strings - 10/11/08 18:26

Greetings,
I'm currently trying to compare one string element of a text object with another one using str_stri as I just need to know if one is appearing in the other one.

So I have a text object named
mod_objects

and another one named
mod_FileFormats

they are both defined before the function and properly filled with content.
Now I'll post the bit of code that results in a E1513 crash:

Code:

function modSys_SortObjects()
{
	var i;
	
	// cycle through the whole Mod Objects string array
	i = 0;
	while(i < nro_ModObjects)
	{
		// is it a model (fleet) file?
		if(str_stri(mod_objects.string[i],mod_FileFormats.string[0]))
		{
			str_cpy(mod_fleets.string[counter_fleets],mod_objects.string[i]);
			counter_fleets += 1;
		}
 (...)

This is the begining of a function (obviously) and it crashes at the if(str_stri ...) line

I tried:
- starting with 1 as id for the string elements => still crashing
- using a character sequenz in the str_stri at second place, e.g. ".mdl" and "mdl", both => crash

any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

edit:
counter_fleets is a previously defined variable starting with zero aswell.

please notice that this is C-Script as this project runs in A6

you need to copy(str_cpy) the string from your text object to a regular string before you can compare it.

Just a bug in A6...

Thanks michael!
Just tested it outside of the project by writing the modul from the bottom up.
It is indeed necessary to copy the content of the text object to a string.
But only the first one.

str_stri(string1,string2)

string1 needs to be a string, while string2 can be an element of a text object.

str_stri(object_tmp,format.string[i]) is thus a valid operation which I can use now.

Thanks again!
