[Resolved] searching within a string

[Draycos Goldaryn]

Is there any way to test if a string contains a specified "substring?"

example:

if the player name contains "ion" anywhere
  print "nice name"
else
  print "You suck"
end

"alexus" would print "You suck"
"ionizer" would print "nice name"
"prionic" would print "nice name"
"Jessica Fiona Alexander III" would print "nice name"
"Big oinker" would print "You suck"

Is it possible to do this in rmxp? and if so,
How?[/FONT]

Conditional branch with the script option.

Type this in the conditional branch script text field:

$game_actors[id].name.include?("ion")

Replacing id with the actor id and ion with whatever substring you want.

so, I would be able to test any string if I use

string_variable.include?("substring") ?

EDIT: Nvm it is so. Thank you ccoa.

Note to mods/admins: This is now resolved.
