case sensitive? #175427 22/04/07 04:45 PM

simons354 S	Hi everyone, I'm trying to make something for my script but it needs case sensitive letters, and I'm not sure how to do this?? on :TEXT:w:#: { msg # This is a lower case w } on :TEXT:W:#: { msg # This is an upper case W } when I type W in the room, it displays the "This is a lower case w" message. How can I do this so it would be case sensitive?? Thanks to everyone in advanced!

The easiest way to make a case sensitive script is something like this: Code: on *:TEXT:w:#:{ if ($1 === w) ;lower case elseif ($1 === W) ;uppercase } The three === means case sensitive comparison. -genius_at_work

Code:

on *:text:*:#: {
  if ($1 == $chr(119)) { msg $chan This is a lower case w }
  elseif ($1 == $chr(87)) { msg $chan This is an upper case W }
}

or...

Code:

on *:text:*:#: {
  if ($1- isupper) { echo -a This text is all upper case }
  elseif ($1- islower) { echo -a This text is all lower case }
}

or...

Code:

on *:text:w:#: {
  if ($1 isupper) { echo -a This is an upper case W }
  elseif ($1 islower) { echo -a This is a lower case w }
}

As a note, in this last code, you could just do:

Code:

else echo -a This is a lower case w

instead of the ELSEIF line. I showed you the ELSEIF line just so you can see how it works.

Personally, this third code is what I'd use.

When mirc compares the two characters for equality, it has no idea (ie it has 'forgotten') where that "w" came from, ie whether it came from $chr(119) or a hardcoded "w" or anything else.
