string match questions
|
Ok, the wiz in my mud is revising to prevent robot. We have a huge quest list. Typically, when you type a command to check, it will shows like this:
QUEST One: Give Sunny Sword
Then you go buy a sword then send to npc Sunny.
My database used to have 1870 records.
Now the displayed changed to this:
QUEST One: Couldyoupleasegivesunnyasword?
or
QUEST One: SwordpleasegivetoSunny.
Believe me, there is no space in sentence. So I use %numwords to search the key word of npc and item. Is there any simple function to check whether one string is included in another?
As we all know, %numwords("aaabc","aab") = 2, %numwords("aaabc","aaa")=2, but %numwords("aaabc","abc")=1. :(. So I need to combine another %ends in #if, pretty clumsy to run it 1xxx times.
Thanks |

That would be the %pos function.
Syntax: %pos(p,s)
return the position of pattern p in string s. Return 0/false if not found
Examples:
#SHOW %pos(ABC,12AB56ABC10ABC)
displays: 7

Kick. That is built in function back to 3.xx. Didn't know why it escaped my eyes before.
Thanks a lot. :) Definitely hopes my robot could consume less resources, so I could still reach 60fps in CS.
