Strings & Interpolation

Build text with {expressions}, escapes and helpers.

Inside a string, { ... } runs any expression and inserts its value.

knight

let name = PlayerName(playerid);
SendClientMessage(playerid, "Welcome, {name}!");
SendClientMessage(playerid, "HP: {GetPlayerHealth(playerid)}");
SendClientMessage(playerid, "Upper: {upper(name)}");

Escapes

Escape	Result
`\n`	New line
`\t`	Tab
`\\`	Backslash
`\"`	Double quote
`\{` / `\}`	Literal braces

String helpers

knight

let parts = split(PlayerName(playerid), "_");
let label = join(parts, " ");

Log(str(len(label)));
Log(upper(label));
Log(trim("  spaced  "));
Log(substr(label, 0, 3));
Log(replace(label, " ", "-"));

Tip

Interpolation may contain nested calls and even nested string literals: "{upper(join(split(name, \"_\"), \" \"))}".
