Ok, I spent the last hour or so putting together a little function that
*should* do it for you... none of it has been tested, so you'll have to
do that, but if there are any bugs, they should be minor... also I don't
promise that it's the most efficient way to do it memory-wise, but
again, it should work :) just call it from whatever function you need
the info parsed from, like if it's a find-area-for-this-mob's-level kind
of command, you'd call it from there, and you'll have to declare the
variables to use in that function... the parse function only parses to
the variables you send it... so for example, if you were calling it from
the parent function, you'd declare a variable for the lower level range,
upper level range, creator name, and area name, like so:
int minlvl, maxlvl;
char creator[MAX_STRING_LENGTH], name[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
then when you loop through the area list or whatever you're searching
through, call the function w/ those 4 variables, and the credits as the
first argument to the function... assuming that you're using a variable
called pArea as your AREA_DATA type, you'd call it like so from the
parent function:
parse_credits(pArea->credits,minlvl,maxlvl,creator,name);
and then for this credit line: "@w{ 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Diku @[EMAIL
PROTECTED]"
it should set the following values (it'll strip the color codes too):
minlvl = 1;
maxlvl = 99;
creator = "Diku";
name = "REverdale";
which you can then use from the parent function... hope it helps...
void parse_credits( char *credits, minlvl, maxlvl, creator, name )
{
char *point, *point2, *levels, buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char buf2[MAX_STRING_LENGTH], value[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
buf[0] = '\0';
point2 = buf;
/* First strip the color codes */
for ( point = credits; *point; ++point )
{
if ( *point == '@' )
{
++point;
continue;
}
*point2 = *point;
*++point2 = '\0';
}
/* Now point2 should be a black and white version of credits,
so we just break it up into arguments, which means 1 more
loop to isolate level range before we use one_argument */
point2 = buf;
buf2[0] = '\0';
levels = buf2;
for ( point = point2; *point; ++point )
{
if ( *point == '{' )
continue;
else if ( *point == '}' )
{
++point;
break;
}
*levels = *point;
*++levels = '\0';
}
/* Now levels should contain just the segment within the
braces, and point should contain everything after the
braces, and we can use one_argument for the rest... */
levels = one_argument(levels,value);
if ( !is_number(value) )
log_string("Invalid numeric argument in area credits (minlvl)");
else minlvl = atoi(value);
levels = one_argument(levels,value);
if ( !is_number(value) )
log_string("Invalid numeric argument in area credits (maxlvl)");
else maxlvl = atoi(value);
point = one_argument(point,creator);
point = one_argument(point,name);
return;
}

Subject: Taking a string and separating it into different vars
Hello all.
I need to take my Credits line of my area files and separate it into
3 separate variables...and example of my credits line is as follows.
The credits are char *credits
@w{ 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Diku @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thalor @RThe Tower of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
@w{ 5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strahd @RTown Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the @'s are my color code...
What I need is to have the vars like this
levels = 1-99
creator = Diku
Can someone give me a hint on how to start?
Thanks!
-K
