The original code is not attempting to convert the string to an integer, it is simply printing the output of the function which happens to be the index of the matching string. Converting a string to an integer doesn't make sense in the context of this thread.

I think the underlying issue is ArrayPushArray() instead of ArrayPushString() and/or the case sensitivity factor. Shadows Adi, can you confirm?

[Shadows Adi]

Yes, Bugsy, I think it's from case sensitivity. ( I modified the ArrayPushArray into ArrayGetString )
I tested out some of this code, this are the results:

Tested values ( "Value1",
"Value type",
"Other value",
"Anything else"
)

PHP Code:

amx_test value
Array Index: -1

amx_test Value
Array Index: 0

amx_test Anything
Array Index: 3

amx_test else
Array Index: -1 


It seems that the function it's searching only the first word, case sensitive, not in the entire Array.

I achieved what I wanted using string comparasion. Here is the full code:

PHP Code:

/* Sublime AMXX Editor v4.2 */

#include <amxmodx>

#define PLUGIN  "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0.0-8"
#define AUTHOR  "Author"

new Array:g_aValues
new const g_szList[4][] = 
{
    "Value1",
    "Value type",
    "Other value",
    "Anything else"
}

public plugin_init()
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)

    register_concmd("amx_test", "clcmd_test")

    g_aValues = ArrayCreate(48)

    for(new i; i < sizeof(g_szList); i++)
    {
        ArrayPushString(g_aValues, g_szList[i])
    }
}

public clcmd_test(id)
{
    new arg[48], szResult[48], iIndex, szTemp[64]

       read_argv(1, arg, charsmax(arg))
      remove_quotes(arg)

      for(new i; i < ArraySize(g_aValues); i++)
      {
          ArrayGetString(g_aValues, i, szResult, charsmax(szResult))

          iIndex = containi(szResult, arg)

          if(iIndex > -1)
          {
              formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "Value found: %s^n Array Index: %i^n", szResult, i)
          }
          else
          {
              formatex(szTemp, charsmax(szTemp), "No matching found")
          }

         if(iIndex > -1)
         {
             break
         }
      }
      console_print(id, szTemp)

       return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public plugin_end()
{
    ArrayDestroy(g_aValues)
} 


And here are the tests results:

PHP Code:

amx_test 1
Value found: Value1
Array Index: 0

amx_test value
Value found: Value1
Array Index: 0

amx_test ty
Value found: Value type
Array Index: 1

amx_test type
Value found: Value type
Array Index: 1

amx_test OtHer
Value found: Other value
Array Index: 2

amx_test else
Value found: Anything else
Array Index: 3 


Still, ArrayFindString seems to searching only the first word, case sensitive, not in the entire Array, any ideas why?

It looks like it will compare up to the length of the string that you pass into it. If the string length of the string that you pass into it is larger than the array's cell size, it will use the cell size. So, it won't ever only do an exact match.

The code that chooses how many characters to compare is on this line here.

Thank you, now that's make sense.

Btw, if I use second param of ArrayCreate ( reserved ), it could work?
See this line to understand what I am talking about.

No, the reserved means that it reserves enough memory to hold that number of entries so that it doesn't have to dynamically allocate memory until you exceed that array size. See the 'reserved' parameter documentation here. When your array reaches this size, all new entries require dynamic allocation of memory for the new entry.
