Now i wrote a quick command parsing bit for my script..

only thing is, the switch/case will not pick it up the string..

quote:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
    var CMD = Message.split(" ", 1);
    Debug.Trace(CMD);
    if(MessageKind == 1){
        switch(CMD){
            case "!date" : ChatWnd.SendMessage("The date is: (!D)"); break;
            case "!time" : ChatWnd.SendMessage("The time is: (!T)"); break;
        }           
    }
}

---

the debug shows that the correct (splitted) string was used.

quote:

---

Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage
!date

---

any ideas/help?

Here's a good function that has always worked for me:

EDIT: put the function in and then use:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
     return parseCommands(Message,ChatWnd);
}

---

code:

---

function parseCommands(sMessage,ChatWnd){
      if (sMessage.charAt(0) == '/'){
            if(sMessage.charAt(1) == '/'){
                  return sMessage;
            } else {
                  var firstSpace = sMessage.search(' ');
                        if(firstSpace == -1){
                              var command = sMessage.toLowerCase().substr(1);
                              var params = '';
                        } else {
                              var command = sMessage.toLowerCase().substr(1, firstSpace-1);
                              var params = sMessage.toLowerCase().substr(firstSpace+1);
                        }
                              switch(command) {
                                    case 'whatever':
                                          //Do whatever here, but leave the next two lines. Add them to each case. They're important =)
                                          sMessage = '';
                                          break;
                                    }
                              }
            return sMessage;
      }
}

The split function returns an Array!! Try the code above.

        var CMD = Message.split(" ", 1).toString();
        switch(CMD.toLowerCase()){
            case "!date" : ChatWnd.SendMessage("The date is: (!D)"); break;
            case "!time" : ChatWnd.SendMessage("The time is: (!T)"); break;
