Overview
A spel function which, although much diffrent in syntax, works similar to regex (Regular Expression) string matches found in most other programming languages.
Returns the index of the first appearance of the pattern in the search string. Patterns can be regular expressions.
Usage
sindex("string","match");
Unknown if any wildcards are supported
Results
Sindex will return a -1 is no match is found or a 0 if a match is made.
Examples
- If statement using sindex (matching a string against a string)
if (sindex("test string", "test")==0) {return;}
- Pushing the results of sindex into a variable (matching a string in another variable)
int results;
results=sindex(group.id, "776B094702EABB4B87F04A139E72D44B");
if (results==-1) {
set_return_data("No Match");
} else {
set_return_data("Match!");
}
