Compairing strings?

[xwxjncoxwx]


checkhere = "There are no party members."

currentline = FFXI.chat_GetNewestLineNumber()
test = FFXI.chat_GetLine(currentline)

if test == checkhere then
Control.control_SendString("Refresh Ready")
else
 Control.control_SendString(checkhere)
 Control.control_SendString(test)
end


The "if test == checkhere then " does not work even when they are the exact same.. how do you compair strings? Am i missing something ?? I just want to to message me when my refresh drops...

if test == "There are no party members.1"

That fixed it.. for some reason in the log file it adds that to the end ?? strange?

You can also check for substrings. This is useful when the text has some garbage in there that might not equate properly using lua's operators.

Perfect use for string.find().

Use:string.find(subject,"Search pattern")
