Checking the beginning of strings...

[Morkai]

Hi Everyone, (I'm new...ish)

Was playing the other day with DP and QuakeC.

Is there a way to check the beginning part of a string...?
(was trying to implement footsteps specific to texture)

eg. if the string has "METAL_" or "WOOD_" at the beginning.

I know I could do a check against all the possible texture names I have but I was trying to cut out a lot of code writing!

Thanks a bunch.

Sussed it...

strncasecmp etc. in the FTE_STRINGS bit of dpextensions.QC

No worries!

I'm glad you find out the answer, Morkai
I'm afraid I personally wouldn't have been of much help
