Here's what I would "like" to do to the do_set function I'm working on. Paolo Wrote: Well it seems that your naming policies are a little too lax for circlemud (well, at least for bpl14). I've released a snippet that does almost all the dirty work, it was used in my (now defunct) mud for manned naming authorization procedure. But that's not the point =) I think that you should study sprintf a little more... -----+ Snip +------ Actually I pretty much know sprintf backwards, forwards, sideways, up and down, and inside out. The code wasn't done by me originally and the mud source isn't my own. I'm helping out a relative whom also runs a MUD project, she lost both her coders and it pretty much screwed her royally so soon to the second opening of a newer version of her very old mud. My original question stands, is there a more efficient and less time consuming way to display the old name, new name and actor's name in a syslog string? sprintf(logbuf, "(GC) %s has changed %s's name to ....", GET_NAME(ch), GET_NAME(vict)); /* GET_NAME(vict) should probably be GET_OLDNAME(vict) */ sprintf(logbuf, "(GC) %s has changed the name of %s to %s.", GET_NAME(ch),GET_OLDNAME(vict), GET_NAME(vict)); Jeremy M. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
