I am trying to find a way to utilize "string.match" to see wheter a players nick has a specific number or text in it,
and I am trying to return a bool wheter it does or not. How can I efficiently do this?
what I am trying to do is to check in an if-statement, wheter the player has this number/text in this name
I usually use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/string/find]string.find[/url], it's easier and on it's own can be checked using an if statement
[CODE]
if string.find( playername, text ) then
-- something
end
[/CODE]

If you want a bool:
[CODE]
local function PlayerNameContains( name, text )
return string.find( name, text ) ~= nil
end
[/CODE]
