Just a very quick question ...

how do i compare char arrays (char*) ?
is there is an engine function ?
if not [in which case i will have to write it myself], how do i retrieve the length of a char array ?

Thanks

strcmp compares char arrays, strlen returns length.
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstring/strcmp/

include stdio.h

also ... is there a reason why the compiler doesnt find the strchr function ?

The fonction is str_chr not strchr

Not the one from the standard C library.

@Rohiaw: I have no chance to test it right now, but try if this works:

gave me a crash ...

In case this helps:



In case you even care:

You might want to check out Lite Foundation which has a powerful string class which should help you to solve the problem. Here is the documentation for the class so you can check if it has everything you need: http://widerwille.com/litefoundation/reference/group___l_f_string_ref.html

Rohiaw, you can also use the STRING struct which comes with Gamestudio (look for STRING in the manual).
STRING is, however, by far not as powerful as the string class of Lite Foundation.

I had a problem with the Lite foundation.
i copied the 'sourc'e folder from the lite foundation into my project folder and included "Source\LiteFoundation.h".
Compiler gave me an error:

'source\lfbase.h' line 95 syntax error

typedef signed charint8_t;

Ah yes, thats a problem with the stdio.h header which defines size_t too. The compiler complains about the wrong line.
Open LFBase.h and remove this line (98):


Btw, for your problem you will most likely want to use the LFStringComponentsSeperatedByString() function to get an array of the components of your string (the separator would be " ") and then use an LFEnumerator to iterate through the array. Feel free to ask if there are any problems.
