Ok, basically i want to play a random song from a list. I was thinking that you have the string like so
string = "song1.wav,song2.wav,song3.wav..."
Now i want to beable to slit that string and store all the values to an array so i can do like SongList[random number]. How can i split a string at every ","?

Examples would be wonderful instead of just a function

[DJ Tsunami]

ExplodeString

[Greyscale]

Example

new String:random[32*3] = "bl1nk123, DJ Tsunami, Greyscale"; // created 32 slots of memory for each of the 3 choices
new String:randomarray[3][64];
ExplodeString(random, ",", randomarray, 3, 64);

new randint = GetRandomInt(0, 2);
PrintToServer("The winner is %s", randomarray[randint]);

Wrote this really simple one real quick as a test. I'd never tried anything like that before

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
 
public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "My First Plugin",
    author = "Me",
    description = "My first plugin ever",
    version = "1.0.0.0",
    url = "http://www.sourcemod.net/"
};
 
new String:mysongs[256]
new String:songs[12][64];
new songsfound;
new randomsong;

public OnPluginStart()
{
  mysongs = "song1.mp3,song2.mp3,song3.mp3,song4.mp3,song5.mp3"
  RegAdminCmd("sm_testsongs", Command_TestSongs, ADMFLAG_GENERIC);
}

public Action:Command_TestSongs(client, args)
{
    songsfound = 0;
    randomsong = 0;
    songsfound = ExplodeString(mysongs, ",", songs, 12, 64);
    if (songsfound < 2)
    {
      PrintToChatAll("Playing Song: %s", songs[randomsong]);
      return Plugin_Handled;
    } else {
      randomsong = GetRandomInt(0,songsfound - 1)
      PrintToChatAll("Playing Song: %s", songs[randomsong]);
      return Plugin_Handled;
    }
} 


Far more efficient ways of writing it, but this seems to work for example purposes

Thanks guys!! Very quick responses!

XARIUS your script will only support 12 songs right

Right, you could easily make that higher

new String:songs[24][64]; <-- 24 songs.

If you want dynamically allocated space you can move into adt_arrays. They're a whole lot of fun. However, if your going to statically declare what songs are available wouldn't it be better to do:

new String:songs[][] = { "song1.mp3", "song2.mp3", "song3.mp3" };

?

I haven't used ADT arrays before, however I assumed that the OP was probably looking for something along the lines of a big convar or string in a config file somewhere, so that song/filenames could be modified without recompiling.

T'was only an example plugin

EDIT: And since yer being all helpful, go check out my GetClientMenu thread and see if you can't figure that one out for me.. lol
