Summary

Function: integer llDetermineType( string source, integer start, integer end );

Returns an integer to represent the type of the part of the string.

• string source The string that you are determining the type of a part of.
• integer start The start point in the string of what you are determining.
• integer end The end point in the string of what you are determining.

number does not support negative indexes.

Caveats

  • If number is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.

Examples

<lsl> default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
   }
   listen(integer chan, string name, key id, string msg)
   {
       if(llDetermineType(msg,0,-1)==1)
       {
           integer new_number=msg;
           vector also = <new_number,new_number*8,new_number/3>;
           llOwnerSay("The number you just said was "+(string)new_number+" and put in a vector, it is "+also+".");
       }
   }    

}

</lsl>

Notes

Should make it easier for scripters to determine the types of parts of strings in order to get accurate results as opposed to manually deriving them from the string.
