Getting llDetectName to check against a Notecard

I was just wondering how I could make llDetectName to check against a list of names in a notecard rather than having to invidually type llDetectName with each persons name in the script.
Thanks

Load all the names from the notecard into a list using the dataserver functions and you can just check against that.

Hmmm, I just started learning notecards yesterday ::grins:: but, I would thing that something along the lines of...

#note_card
Rizado DaSilva=This is something about Rizado
Keno Pontoppidan=This is other stuff about Keno

    dataserver(key query, string data) {
     	string check_name;
     	string check_data;
     
     	if (data == EOF) {
     		return;
     	} else {
     		integer i = llSubStringIndex(data, "=");
     		check_name = llGetSubString(data, 0, i - 1);
     		check_data = llGetSubString(data, i + 1, llStringLength(data) - 1);
     		if (check_name == llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0))) {
     			myvar1 = check_name;
     			myvar2 = check_data;
   		}
   		line = line + 1;
   		llGetNotecardLine("notecard", line);
   	}

Of course, you'd have to call the notecard too, haven't checked this code but it should be close I think and it's not loading a list, would just read the notecard and if it finds the name loads the info.

Of course, a list would be faster, but, if you don't need speed :hrugs:: Someone else might be able to do this a lot better, as I said, I only started doing notecards yesterday and am still a newbie programmer.

Assuming the notecard doesn't have hundreds of names, I would read the entire notecard into a list when the script starts, and then check if llDetectedName(0) is in the list.

Rizado, there's one small problem with your code snippet - llDetectedName(0) only works in the function that did the 'detecting' - i.e. a touch, collision or sensor handler. AFAIK, that function will return an empty string when called in the dataserver handler like you did. Which si easy to solve - call it in the touch/whavere handler, and save that name to another global, and then use that global for teh comparison in the dataserver handler.
