Title: ArmA String Functions
Post by: Mr.Peanut on 17 Apr 2007, 17:14:14

I am posting a link to a thread on the BI Forums in which some very smart cookies came up with brute force methods to make functions that can manipulate strings in ArmA.  The string functions include the standard: len, right, left, mid etc. I am so excited, it is pathetic!  :weeping:

Here is the relevant thread (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=3e0d6dd2bbe0dae743a30af658f70769;act=ST;f=71;t=60261;st=0).

When I click the link it doesn't take me anywhere.
Thanks for the heads up. I will go looking for these.

The link works for me. Warning: because these scripts are a crude workaround to having no native string functions in ArmA, they eat a lot of resources. Use sparingly or face the jitters.

They work for me now. Strange.
Thanks for the additional info.
