So I have the most basic of chat commands:
class ExampleChatCommand : public ChatCommandClass {
	void Triggered(int ID,const TokenClass &Text,int ChatType) {
		Send_Message(255,255,255,StrFormat("Example.").c_str());
	}
};
ChatCommandRegistrant<ExampleChatCommand> ExampleChatCommandReg("!example;!EXAMPLE",CHATTYPE_ALL,0,GAMEMODE_ALL);

!example works
!EXAMPLE works

But what if I was typing fast and did !Example

I've been searching for a way to disable case-sensitivity for awhile but haven't found anything useful yet.
Any pointers would help a lot.

Use the native chat hook ssgm provides and sscanf/strcmp/stricmp parse it. Wink

char Command[80], params[256];
if (sscanf(Message, "%s %s", &Command, &params) == 0) // granted not 100% sure how to grab anything after the first request...
{
    if (stricmp(Command, "!test") == 0) // could be strcmp for case in-sensitive matches, but then again...not sure
    {
       // do stuffz
    }
}

char Command[80], params[256];
*params = 0;

char msg[256];
strcpy(msg, "msg !test called with: ");
if (sscanf(Message, "%s %[^\n]", Command, params) != 0)
{
    if (stricmp(Command, "!test") == 0)
    {
         if(*params != 0)
         {
              strcat(msg, params);
         }
         else
         {
              strcat(msg, "no params")
         }
         Console_Input(msg);
    }

In sscanf, %[] means "everything" the '^' character means "except this"

%[^g] would mean everything except 'g' %[\n] means everything except '\n'. You can also combine them, %[^\ngasd] "everything except '\n','g','a','s','d'"

If you don't have the '^' character you can use it to match "specific" characters.
%[abcd] would only match 'a','b','c','d'

%s in sscanf means a word, so it will stop reading when it meets whitespace or a newline. Not sure on the exact characters it actually reads.

scanf returns the number of variables matched, so we want 2 vars out of the string, we use == 2 or >1 to make sure it succeeded.

Lastly, whitespace in the format string means "whitespace" and not a single space.

sscanf("hello world!", "%s %s", hello, world) //fill hello and world
This applies to everything
sscanf("123 321", "%d %d", &i, &u) //123 321

stricmp is non-case sensitive.
