Aww hell. Mailer code to follow, _and_ beside that its probably
the worse way to do it. Sound familliar?
char types "prac [words] <#'s of pracs>"
no prob...
int pracs=1;
char oneword[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
/* we'll always parse the first argument as a valid skill/spell */
argument=one_argument(argument,oneword);
/* buf is used as a temp buf, and will turn back into 'argument' */
sprintf(buf,"%s",oneword);
/* grab the last argument.. i know there's a better way.. i just
can't think of it right now */
strcpy(oneword,NULL);
while(argument=one_argument(argument,oneword)) {
/* if its in this loop, then argument isn't null */
/* therefore its not the last argument */
sprintf(buf," %s%s",buf, oneword);
}
/* this is the last word */
if(oneword && isdigit(*oneword)) {
pracs=atoi(oneword);
} else if (oneword) {
sprintf(buf," %s%s",buf,oneword);
}
strcpy(argument,buf);
/* what you get at the end of this?
1) argument now only has the skill/spell name in it (even those
with more than one word)
2) pracs is equal to the number of pracs they're wanting to
spend.
so, just throw this at the top of your "do_practice" function. */
