This seems like a silly question. But a question i've been having trouble figuring out...

How do i determine if a string is empty?

if(equali(string, "") ) // throws warnings

if(sizeof string < 2) // Throws 3 warnings

if(string[0]) // simply doesn't work

if(charsmax(string) < 2) // Throws errors & warnings

all of these are proceeded with

		formatex(string, charsmax(string), "[page]")

You can use strlen(). Or maybe check if szString[0] = EOS.

PHP Code:

if(!string[0]) 


or

PHP Code:

if(string[0] == EOS) 


?

What does EOS stand for? Just out of curiosity.....i'm testing that now.

EOS = '^0' = 0

oh, thanks!

if(string[0] == EOS)

And it worked, guys! Thank you, very much.

Just for better understanding, EOS simply means end of string.

This one works but it is actually checking if the string is not empty. To check if the string is empty you need to do if( !string[0] ).

yeah....that explains why this works.
[php]if(pm_sound[0])
client_cmd(reciever, "speak ^"sound/%s^"", pm_sound)[/pm]

I figured that out after <VeCo>'s post and some fooling around.

Yeah, but I was just thinking that comparing to EOS is probably much better for readability.
