Define a string using llListen

Ok, well I'm making an object which has multiple defined strings, for example:

string test;
string test2;
string test3;


And I want the user to be able to define those strings using a command, such as "/set test <desired text>".

BUT, my problem, is that I can only seem to get llListen to recognize EXACT commands. This is why I think I need to replace *if (message == "/set etc."* with something more dynamic. Is this possible? Kinda hard to explain but if you at least give me your best shot it would be greatly appreciated. I'm in game right now (10:46 AM GMT -8, April 1) if you wanna drop me a line, I would be ever thankful. Thanks!

You mean removing case sensitivity?

string input;
input = llToLower(input);
if(input == "command"){
//Do stuff
}

[edit]
Actually, I just realised what you meant, what you need to do is this:

string input;
if(llSubStringIndex(input, "/set ") != -1)
{
llSay(0, llDeleteSubString(input, 0, 4);
}

passing "/set sometexthere" through that will say 'sometexthere'

Awesome thanks, I saw that substring script on the wiki, but wasnt sure what to make of it, and if it was what I needed. I'll try it out and let you know how it went.

Thanks a bunch!

(By the way I actually had that case sensitive thing in there already )

Hmm, no luck yet, wanna run that by me again? Im not sure how to tie listen into all this, and its just doing nothing .

One thing I do a lot is break a string down into words so I can test against specific criteria:

default {
	state_entry() {
		llListen( 0, "", NULL_KEY, "" );
	}
	
	listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string msg ) {
		list words = llParseString2List( msg, [ " " ], [] );
		string command = llList2String( words, 0 );
		string variable = llList2String( words, 1 );
		string value = llList2String( words, 2 );
		llSay( 0, "command = " + command );
		llSay( 0, "variable = " + variable );
		llSay( 0l, "value = " + value );
	}
}

Oh god, now I'm REALLY confused, and I think we are wayy off track from my original intentions. . .oh well.

Ok sorry I didn't explain it when I posted it. Let me explain the code using comments and point you in the right direction.

integer test = 0;
integer test1 = 0;
integer test2 = 0;

default {
    state_entry() {
        // begin listening to chanel 0
        llListen( 0, "", NULL_KEY, "" );
    }
    
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string msg ) {
        // break the message into a list of words
        list words = llParseString2List( msg, [ " " ], [] );

        // type in /set test 0 and see what you get
        string command = llList2String( words, 0 );
        string variable = llList2String( words, 1 );
        string value = llList2String( words, 2 );
        llSay( 0, "command = " + command );
        llSay( 0, "variable = " + variable );
        llSay( 0, "value = " + value );

        // replace these llSay functions with check to see if someone actually says /set test maybe something similar to this:

        if( command == "/set" && variable == "test" ) {
            test = (integer)value;
        }
        else if ( command == "/set" && variable == "test1" ) {
            test1 = (integer)value;
        }
        else if ( command == "/set" && variable == "test2" ) {
            test2 = (integer)value;
        }
    }
}

Ahh I see what you mean. Actually we got it to work by using the llStringIndex and llDeleteIndex functions, er, think thats what its called. Thanks a bunch!
