Hey, I just want to clarifiy:

The reason we do things like:

new name[32]
get_user_name(id, name, 31)

is becauset here is a delimiter in pawn right?

So my name would be JohnRocksAndKilledHimThenAteIt!
So the name is 31 chars long. Now at then end is the delimiter '\0' in pawn? I know C++ has this.

Delimiter is 0 not \0.
I don't think there is a 32:nd cell.

Delimiter or NULL is not neccessary unless you want to cut the string off at a specific cell.

It can also be '^0'

Show me.

amxx just convert ^0 to 0 when formating.

You can replace ^ by another character puting #pragma ctrlchar '\' for example.
So ^0, ^n ... becomes \0 , \n

Why would you say such a thing?

new myArray[32];

myArray[0] 1st
myArray[1] 2nd
myArray[2] 3rd
myArray[3] 4th
myArray[4] 5th
myArray[5] 6th
myArray[6] 7th
myArray[7] 8th
myArray[8] 9th
myArray[9] 10th
myArray[10] 11th
myArray[11] 12th
myArray[12] 13th
myArray[13] 14th
myArray[14] 15th
myArray[15] 16th
myArray[16] 17th
myArray[17] 18th
myArray[18] 19th
myArray[19] 20th
myArray[20] 21st
myArray[21] 22nd
myArray[22] 23rd
myArray[23] 24th
myArray[24] 25th
myArray[25] 26th
myArray[26] 27th
myArray[27] 28th
myArray[28] 29th
myArray[30] 30th

It's called a string terminator, not a delimiter. According to the Pawn language specification (40, 103-4, 142), the string terminator is \0, but since AMXX uses ^ as the default escape character, we use ^0. String terminators are not optional.

Don't let facts get in the way of your corrections though. ;)

^0 is not equal to 0.

If you set a cell to 0 it has the same effect as formatting it with a string terminator.

Thanks sorry, yeah not a delimiter, a terminator... wow I was stupid, so in pawn its ^0 not \0 but it does exist?

Good job, failure. Pawn isn't only used for AMXX and it's probably customizable.
I would've given you +K for a nice try but I can't.

You can change the escape char and I guess there's no differance between ^0 and 0 cept 0 is easier to write and looks way better.

kk thats fun to know! +K all
