String Contains?

[Omini]

How do I do

NPC Code:

---

if (strcontains(,)) { }

---

in GS2? I checked the basic scripting page and it's not there...

obj.lower() - converts a string to lower case
obj.upper() - converts a string to upper case
obj.tokenize([delimiters])
obj.charat(pos)
obj.pos(substring)
obj.starts(string)
obj.ends(string)
obj.substring(index[,length])
obj.size() - array length
obj.subarray(index[,length])
obj.addarray(obj2)
obj.insertarray(index,obj2)
obj.index(obj2) - position of obj2 in the array
obj.clear()
obj.add(obj2)
obj.delete(index)
obj.remove(obj2)
obj.replace(index,obj2)
obj.insert(index,obj2)

Can anyone help me out?

PHP Code:

function contains( strStack, strNeedle )
  { // Usage: container( this.var, "foo" );
  for ( i = 0; i < strStack.length() - strNeedle.length(); i ++ )
    if ( strStack.substring( i, strNeedle.length()) == strNeedle)
      return true;
  return false;
  }

; True. I just took segments from my replaceAll( strStack, strNeedle, strReplace) function.

Err... I wrote that too quickly, I guess. I usually do ( str ). ( As you could see in the first function I supplied. I think you're over-reacting... )

Alright, it's good that you don't use that style. It's just super annoying to see people use it.

so in the same sense as the Wiki puts it, it would be

if(obj.pos(obj2) >= 0) { }

Yeah?

Try it and see!

It's easier to use .contains()

this.msg = "what npc";
this.findmsg = "npc";

if (this.msg.contains(this.findmsg)) {
// whatever
}

Ah-ha! So that DOES work... I guess I used (this.msg.contains() text) or something stupid.

Yeah sorta. You said if (foo.pos("bar") >= 0) { }, with the foo.pos sorta confusing me. I just wanted to clarify.

Ah, I see. Well yes, that is how you do it.


EDIT: Ogasp, post #1234. I r winnar.

I use this method, I'm sure it works too.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  temp.test = {"hey", "test"};
  if (contains(temp.test, "test")) //If 'test' is in temp.test, it'll echo 'Found' to the NC users
  {
    echo("Found");
  }
    else
  {
    echo("Not Found");
  }
}

  {

  }
    else
  {
    echo("Not Found");
  }
} 


Same thing as the in operator? if("test" in temp.test) {?
He is trying to compare substrings, not check if a value is in an array, I believe.

[xAndrewx]

Oh I see, my mistake.

Yes the replacement for strcontains(oldstring,oldstring) is contains(string,string)

It's not obj.contains(string) ?
