How to get the end of stings in script.

#1 Grab the string-length, subtract 5 from it and start searching from that position using strStr or whatever you find appropriate.

Or just do a strPos and see if the position is within the last 5 from the total strLen.

#2 Thanks... but still a bit confused as to the commands you are suggesting to use.

#3 A good reference for script based string functions can be found on TDN tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TorqueScript_Commands

Something along the lines of the following should do what you want:-

%strTail = getSubStr( %string, strlen(%string)-5, 5 );
if (%strTail $= "check")
{
  ....
}

#4 Gary's example should work, but if it does not.. change it to this:

%string = "testforcheck";
%searchString = "check";


%strTail = getSubStr( %string, ( strlen( %string ) -5 ), 5 );


if ( %strTail $= %searchString )
{
// do something here
}

May I suggest two articles for you:
Harold's post on string functions
TorqueScript on TDN

#5 Aye, thats what I was looking for. That list of script commands is useful! I swear it wasn't there a few weeks ago! Top stuff!
