I am going to try to undertake the task of creating a gaming bot that spits out a 1 or 2 word sentence, and you can find words within those words and itll give you a point for each word you find.
I already have a list of almost every word in the english language that I am going to use for checking words.
However, the major task that I do not know how to do is make it see the words the person types and check it with its words it spit out.
Say for example it spits out the word Chocolate.
How would I make it see that the word "Coco" can be made from the word "Chocolate"?
Or say the word "Locate" can be made from the word "Chocolate".
I appreciate your help!

alias locate {
var %string $1, %locate = $2, %i = 1, %found
while $mid(%string,%i,1) {
if $count(%locate,$mid(%string,%i,1)) { inc %found }
inc %i
}
return $iif(%found != $len(%string),0,1)
}
//echo -a $locate(coco,chocolate) - returns 1 because coco was found in chocolate edit: someone else can probably think of a better way of doing it.

hmm see that wont work  its got to be real words lol. any other ideas guys? cause i have no idea what-so-ever on how to do this. just to make sure its clear what i am trying to accomplish (since its pretty confusing lol) I will have a large words.dat file that is going to contain almost all of the words in the english language (found it on sourceforge.net), and the bot is going to spit out say, the word "chocolate" and users can then form words out of that word, and for every real word they form they will get a point. Example: <WordBot> Chocolate <user1> Locate <user2> Coco <user3> tale etc etc. How would I go about having the bot check to see if the word "tale" "coco" and "locate" are real words that can be made out of the word "Chocolate"?

This should work: contains {
; $contains(<haystack>, <needle>)
var %needle = $2, %char
while $left(%needle, 1) != $null {
%char = $ifmatch
if ($count(%needle, %char) > $count($1, %char)) return
%needle = $remove(%needle, %char)
}
return $true
}eg. $contains(chocolate, locate) = $true
$contains(chocolate, ooo) = $null
$contains(chocolate, Locate) = $trueEdit: This is only to check one word is within another word. To make an alias which checks within the file would require knowing the format it uses to store words.

Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.

i am trying to make sence of the code u wrote, but its just confusing the heck out of me because I cannot see where some of these variable are being set etc.
can you please go over each step so that I can correctly put that code into the bot and mold it the way i need? (IE place it correctly into on-text event's etc.)
thank you so much!

you dont need to add that to the on text, its a standalone identifier alias, you just uses it in the on text
on text {
blah blah
if ($contains(%masterword, %word.in.it) == $true) {
; found a possable word in the master word
; now to check if thats a real word from that file ya got
}

ahhh ok.
i did not know aliases could be used like that
i thought they could only be used as /aliasname to make 'em work :P
what about this:
var %needle = $2, %char
where is the $2 coming from?
and why is there a , %char? I've never seen a variable being set with a , and then another empty variable after it. Can you explain that part to me too?
Thanks so much!

var %needle = $2, %char
"where is the $2 coming from?"
$contains(<haystack>, <needle>)
^^ <haystack> is $1 and <needle> is $2
"var %needle = $2, %char"
^^ this sets two local variables, %needle and %char.
%char is empty at this point
From [/b]/help /var[/b]
You can create multiple local variables by separating them with commas:
/var %x = hello, %y, %z = $me
