Why isn't this working?

[icon315]

I was adding more to my throwerbot, but i keep running into a problem. I keep getting the error:

Begin index -1 out of bounds (Arrowbottesting.ash, line 35)

print(check ); returns

icon315 "Hi"

Here is the snippet

void main (string sender, string message)
{  
string check;
string check2;


	if (length(message) > 5){
		check = substring(message,6);
		check2 = substring(message,0,5);
		}
	else {
	if (length(message) == 5){
	check = substring(message,0);
	check2 = substring(message,0,5);
	}
	}
	
	


	if (check2 == "smoke")
		{
			print(check);
			string check3 = substring(check, index_of(check ," \""), last_index_of(check, "\""));//LINE 35!
			check = check.replace_string(check, substring(check,6, last_index_of(check, " \"")));
				if(smoke(check,check3))//Sends the message
}
}

Which line is line 35?

If it's this one:

string check3 = substring(check, index_of(check ," \""), last_index_of(check, "\""));

It's possible that index_of(check," \"") is returning -1, possibly because it's a tab instead of a space (or something similar).

Yes it is that line. Actually i added that space, it returned -1 even if i removed it.

Try with index_of(check ,'"') instead? And what does contains_text( check, "\"" ) return ?

 

[icon315]

print(contains_text( check, '"' ));
print(check);
string check3 = substring(check, index_of(check ,'"'), last_index_of(check, '"'));

returns

false
icon315 "Hi"

So that means instead of a quote, you might be receiving the " character?

That's it, just checked the saved mafia chat files and it looks like this

<font color="#7695B4">[12:37]</font> <a href="showplayer.php?who=1491885"><b><font color="black">phil4011</font></b></a>:smoke icon315 "Hi"<br>

I plugged it in and i'm not getting that error anymore, but i need more debugging
