Hi,
I am testing a user inputs.

say if they want to quit the current proc, they ahve to type in 'quit'

in my proc I have,

code:

var userinput : string
get userinput

if index("quitQUIT", userinput) > 0 then
      return
end if


but now, if the user types in 'qu' or 'q' it automattcally quits.
but if i just test again userinput = 'quit' , and they type in say QuIt then its not gonna work.

I was thinking of making a small function that makes that string into a small case string. that could solve things, but if theres a way to do it with index, please tell me.

And if you don't have it, then you can create your own version, or add this to your program:
Turing:
function Lower (s : string) : string
    var res : string := ""
    for i : 1 .. length (s)
        if "A" <= s (i) and s (i) <= "Z" then
            res += chr (ord (s (i)) + 32)
        else
            res += s (i)
        end if
    end for
    result res
end Lower

The Turing site doesn't host the Turing 4.0.5 download anymore (4.0.5 is aka 4.0.4d), but you might be able to get it from your teacher/school.

As for Enemy Territory, I go by a few names and I've been playing from basically the start. It's a great game. But that's for either Off Topic or Private Messages...
