If you use strcmp then they have to type the words in the quotes EXACTLY as
it says in the code, so in this case they must type say diag or say testing.
Say Testing would not work and neither would say test. Use str_cmp if you
wish it to be case-insensitive and if you wish them to be able to abbreviate
the arguments then try this:
if (is_abbrev(command_arg, "diagnose"))
send_to_char("Diag...\r\n", ch);
if (is_abbrev(command_arg, "testing"))
send_to_char("Testing...\r\n", ch);
This will allow typings of say Test, say testi, say dia, etc, etc...
