StringFind is not working correctly

[Relina]

Hi guys,

I'm facing a problem when Using the StringFind() function.

Here it is my code:

GlobalVariableName is in format: "Msg_123456789_-213.34"

double a(int ticket)
  {
   string tik = IntegerToString(ticket);
   Alert("t- "+tik);
   int tot=GlobalVariablesTotal();
   for(int i=0; i<tot; i++)
     {
      string name=GlobalVariableName(i);
      Alert("g- "+name);
      if(StringFind(name,tik)>=0)
        {
         Alert("1");
         string temp_array[];
         ushort sep = StringGetCharacter("_",0);
         StringSplit(name,sep,temp_array);
         double res = StrToDouble(temp_array[2]);
         return res;
        }
     }
   Alert("0");   
   return 0.0;
  }

So time to time it Alert "1", and 20% of the time StringFind () no works and it Alert "0"

Please help if you can see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, thanks for the response!

I don't see the error in my code so therefor I did the post.

Your code	ushort sep = StringGetCharacter("_",0); StringSplit(name,sep,temp_array);
Simplified	StringSplit(name,'_',temp_array);

Hi, thank you for the response!

I did the suggested correction but ... this part of the code is working just fine, the issue is StringFind()

I really cannot understand why once it finds the string, once not (80/20)

The string in the global var is in format "Msg_123456789_-213.34" and StringFind() is seeking the # 123456789(temp_array[1]) in that string

What is the problem with StringFind() ? There is not, the function can't find something inexistent.

Fix your logic and your code, and stop blaming the language for your error, it will help you to progress.
