I am writing a plugin where if you say "cm dd2" it will change your map to de_dust2, cm ca is cs_assualt, etc. But what I need is for someone to please tell me how to check a file for the name entered ex. dd2, and check the file for the map it is. Heres an example of the file:

dd2 "de_dust2"
dd2cz "de_dust2_cz"
citalycz "cs_italy_cz"

It will look for the initials you typed and then change the map to the one in the quotes. Can anyone help?

// somehow grab what they typed in
// we'll assume that the variable "foobar"
// contains the abbreviated name of the map

// the file to read from
new file[64];
file = "addons/amxmodx/data/yourfilehere.ini";

// if file does not exist, give up now
if(!file_exists(file)) {
   return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}

// data for reading
new line, text[64], txtlen;

// go through lines in the file
while((line = read_file(file,line,text,63,txtlen)) != 0) {

   // abbreviation for this map and the full name
   new abbrev[32], mapname[32];

   // split the data into the variables
   parse(text,abbrev,31,mapname,31);

   // get rid of quotes
   remove_quotes(mapname);

   // if we found a match
   if(equali(abbrev,foobar)) {
      server_cmd("changelevel %s",mapname); // change the map
   }

   break; // stop looping
}

return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
