ok this should be the last string related one i hope,

what im trying to do this time is create a type of pay system
ex "!pay mrc 20
result mrc homewood 20

i got the beginig working but im lost on how to work it into having it say the message after it, here is what i got

CODE

string name;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        list command = llParseString2List(message, [" "], []);
        string pay = llList2String(command, 1);  
        if(llList2String(command, 0) == "!pay") 
        {
            name = llToLower(pay);
            llSensor("", NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI);
        }
    }
    sensor(integer num) 
    {
        integer x;
        for(x=0;x<num;x++) 
        {
            string detectname = llToLower(llDetectedName(x));
            if(llSubStringIndex(detectname, name) == 0) 
            {
                llWhisper(0,detectname);
            }
        }
    }
}

In order to make the amount of the payment available in the sensor event handler, you need to save it in a global, the same way you're saving the name. Then you can build the message with something like
CODE

llOwnerSay(detectname + " " + amount);

(Aside: I'm assuming you don't really need llWhisper. llOwnerSay is likely to be the better choice.)

ok i was messing around with it and not sure what i did or didnt do

(?) = error location in sensor

CODE

string name;
list mess;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        list command = llParseString2List(message, [" "], []);   
        string pay = llList2String(command, 1);
        mess = llParseString2List(message, [], [" "]);
        if(llList2String(command, 0) == "!pay") 
        {
            name = llToLower(pay);
            llSensor("", NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI);
        }
    }
    sensor(integer num) 
    {
        integer x;
        for(x=0;x<num;x++) 
        { 
            string amount = llListFindList(mess,(?));
            string detectname = llToLower(llDetectedName(x));
            if(llSubStringIndex(detectname, name) == 0) 
            {
                llOwnerSay(detectname + " " + amount);
            }
        }
    }
}

llListFindList returns only TRUE or FALSE and its an integer so it wont work for what you want. I would suggest using the following instead.
CODE

string amount = llList2String(mess, <location in list>);

No, it doesn't; llListFindList returns the position of the target list within the source list, or -1 if not found.

<edit - actually I misread the main question as regards the rest of this>

i think i killed asomething, it is only doing my name i can go !pay someone 10

it will say mrc homewood 10, but it should say no agents in area with that name >.>

CODE

string name;
list mess;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        list command = llParseString2List(message, [" "], []);
        string pay = llList2String(command, 1);
        mess = llParseString2List(message, [], [" "]);
        if(llList2String(command, 0) == "!pay") 
        {
            name = llToLower(pay);
            llSensor("", NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI);
        }
    }
    sensor(integer num) 
    {
        integer x;
        for(x=0;x<num;x++) 
        { 
            string amount = llList2String(mess,-1);
            string detectname = llToLower(llDetectedName(x));
            if(llSubStringIndex(detectname, name) == 0) 
            {
                llOwnerSay(detectname + " " + amount);
            }
        }
    }
    no_sensor()
    {
        llOwnerSay("No Agent in Area With That Name");
    }
}

Yea you did...use a Name2Key database and it will look it up and use that for a sensor unless you want it to not work. Also I realized that you are using spaces to convert the string to a list, one problem....you need to use 2 parts of the list instead of one. One for the first and one for the last. Hope that helps. Also, you will always have a sensor reply if you have your self in range of it.....so use something other then no_sensor()
Edit: You can use the name instead of doing the name2key lookup, I just looked at the syntax for llSensor(). I'll post back with an example in a few minutes after I test.
CODE

//Mrc's Sensor script modified by MCM Villiers
//use !pay <amount> <avatars full name> to trigger it
list mess;
string last = "";
string first = "";
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
    }
    listen( integer channel, string name, key id, string message )
    {
        list command = llParseString2List(message, [" "], []);
        mess = llParseString2List(message, [], [" "]);
        if(llList2String(command, 0) == "!pay") 
        {
            last = llList2String(mess,-1);
            first = llList2String(mess,-3);
            llSensor(first + " " + last, NULL_KEY, AGENT, 96, PI);
        }
    }
    sensor(integer num) 
    {
        string pay = llList2String(mess, 2);
        llOwnerSay(first + " " + last  + " " + pay);
    }
    no_sensor()
    {
        llOwnerSay("No agent in the area with that name");
    }
}
