This isn't as hard as it might seem. The way we discussed it on the
list a while back (without the "at" part, just "cast my spell name
here target") was a bit harder and I think (emphasis on "think") that
some code came about because of it, so you might want to check the
archives. At the very least it was discussed in detail.
Anyway, on to your particular dilemna; splitting at the word "at".
char spell_name[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char target_name[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
*spell_name = '\0';
argument = one_argument(argument, arg);
while (*arg && str_cmp(arg, "at")) {
strcat(spell_name, arg);
argument = one_argument(argument, arg);
}
if (!*spell_name) {
send_to_char("Cast what?\r\n", ch);
return;
}
if (*arg)
argument = one_argument(argument, target_name);
if (!*target_name) {
send_to_char("Cast the spell at who?\r\n", ch);
return;
}
You can also do this with strstr() and some fun string manipulation.
I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader, though.
