Function StrContains does not work fully

Code

PHP Code:

while(ReadDirEntry(dir, buffer, sizeof(buffer), type)) 
{ 
    if(StrEqual(buffer, "1.wav", false))
    {
        PrintToServer("Dir %s - %i", buffer, type);
    }
} 


Result:

PHP Code:

Dir .
Dir .. - 1
Dir 1.wav - 2 


Code

PHP Code:

while(ReadDirEntry(dir, buffer, sizeof(buffer), type)) 
{ 
    if(StrContains(buffer, ".wav", false))
    {
        PrintToServer("Dir %s - %i", buffer, type);
    }
} 


Result:

PHP Code:

Dir .
Dir .. - 1
Dir 1.wav - 2
Dir 10.wav - 2
Dir 2.wav - 2
Dir 3.wav - 2
Dir 4.wav - 2
Dir 5.wav - 2
Dir 6.wav - 2
Dir 7.wav - 2
Dir 8.wav - 2
Dir 9.wav - 2
Dir czsbrasil_facadazm.mp3 - 2
Dir round_start.wav - 2 


How make it work fully?

Regards.

PHP Code:

if(StrContains(buffer, ".wav", false) != -1) 


[Internet Bully]

PHP Code:

StrContains

Syntax:
native StrContains(const String:str[], const String:substr[], bool:caseSensitive=true);

Usage:
 str            String to search in.
 substr        Substring to find inside the original string.
 caseSensitive    If true (default), search is case sensitive. If false, search is case insensitive.
Notes:
Tests whether a string is found inside another string.

Return:
-1 on failure (no match found). Any other value indicates a position in the string where the match starts.

StrContains works nicely, read doc.

I can understand why this is happening. The name StrContains is misleading, because it doesn't return whether the string exists, but the position of the sub string.

It should perhaps be renamed to StringPosition or something like that. The StringContains function should return true or false, nothing else. Though, we're probalby stuck with StringContains this way, since changing it would break compatibility.

Thanks, this work.

how do I deal with StrContains OR StrContains??? this example does not work

				if (StrContains(modelName, "survivor_gambler.mdl") || StrContains(modelName, "survivor_manager.mdl") == true){
					SOUND_CLIP = ZOMB_TANK_GROWL;
					PrintToChat(client, "#1");
				}
				else if (StrContains(modelName, "survivor_producer.mdl") || StrContains(modelName, "survivor_biker.mdl") == true){
					SOUND_CLIP = ZOMB_HUNTER_GROWL;
					PrintToChat(client, "#2");
				}
				else if (StrContains(modelName, "survivor_coach.mdl") || StrContains(modelName, "survivor_namvet.mdl") == true){
					SOUND_CLIP = ZOMB_SPITTER_GROWL;
					PrintToChat(client, "#3");
				}
				else if (StrContains(modelName, "survivor_mechanic.mdl") || StrContains(modelName, "survivor_teenangst.mdl") == true){
					SOUND_CLIP = ZOMB_JOCKEY_GROWL;
					PrintToChat(client, "#4");
				}
				else
				{
					PrintToChat(client, "NO MATCH");
				}

StrContains is really bad for multiple string checks like this because it goes through every character. Avoid doing that.

Instead, if you're definitely retrieving a client/survivors model use this:

PHP Code:

// Get survivor model
GetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_ModelName", model, sizeof(model));

switch( model[29] )
{
    case 'c': {} // Coach
    case 'b': {} // Nick
    case 'h': {} // Ellis
    case 'd': {} // Rochelle
    case 'v': {} // Bill
    case 'e': {} // Francis
    case 'a': {} // Louis
    case 'n': {} // Zoey
} 


P.S nice necro.
P.P.S read the API on what StrContains returns, the way you're using is incorrect because you're expecting a bool like the OP of this thread.

canadianjeff, read docs.

if( StrContains(modelName, "survivor_gambler.mdl", false) != -1 )
...

if you like going that way.
