so, what type of data structure would you us for this type of thing? something
like this:?
struct xCommandList
{
char cIndexLetter; (a,b,c,d) /* the actual letter you are checking */
struct xCommandList *pxNextInWord; /* the next letter in this command */
struct xCommandList *pxNextInList; /* the next command with this letter */
struct xCommandStruct *pxThisCommand; /*the struct for this command */
};
struct xCommandStruct
{
char *pztCommand;
byte iMinPosition;
void (*CommandPointer)
(struct char_data *ch, char * argument, int cmd, int subcmd);
sh_int iMinLevel;
int iSubCmd;
};
pxTempCmdLst=pxHeadOfList; /*a global pointer to the top of the tree */
iPosition =0;
CheckCommand("test",NULL, pxTempCmdList, iPosition);
/* this is where we check the command against the struct, we have already
checked the SPEC */
int CheckCommand(char *pztCommand,struct xCommandStruct *pxCommand,
struct xCommandList *pxCmdLst, int iPosition)
{
assert(pztCommand);
assert(pztCommand[0]!='\0');
while(1)
{
/* end of command string, we match */
if(pztCommand[iPosition]=='\0')
{
pxCommand=pxCmdLst->pxThisCommand;
return(TRUE);
}
/* end of this chain, no match */
if(!pxCmdLst)
return(FALSE);
/* if item matches */
if(pztCommand[iPosition]==pxCmdList.cIndexLetter)
{
/* check the next letter */
if(CheckCommand(pztCommand,pxCommand,pxCmdLst->pxNextInWord,
iPosition++)==TRUE)
return(TRUE);
else
return(FALSE);
}
/* else check the next item in the list */
if(CheckCommand(pztCommand,pxCommand,pxCmdLst->pxNextInList,
iPosition++)==TRUE)
return(TRUE);
else
return(FALSE);
return(ERROR); /* SHOULD NEVER GET HERE */
}
Should be able to build this list by reading in to cmd_info array and, using the
array's order, construct the pointers. Probably some sort of recursive build.
You will want to strip out all relation between cmd number and the dirs array.
Use the SCMD_ instead for this. It is bad form to use the same variable for
multiple purposes. Just look at all the problems getc causes by returning an
int for errors, and a char for success. I personally prefer sending results
through pointers, and errors through return values. Mileage may vary.
