RE: Counting objects in a room

[Richard Lindsey]

Try something like this:
 
void do_objroom( CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument )
{
    char buf[MSL];
    OBJ_DATA *obj;
    int count = 0;
 
    if ( IS_NPC(ch) ) /* This check really isn't even necessary since this 
function doesn't reference pcdata */
    {
        send_to_char("Yeah, whatever.\n\r", ch);
        return;
    }
 
    if ( argument[0] == '\0' )
    {
        send_to_char("You can't count nothing.\n\r", ch);
        return;
    }
 
    for ( obj = ch->in_room->contents; obj != NULL; obj = obj->next_content )
    {
        if ( !str_prefix(argument,obj->name) )
            count++;
    }
 
    sprintf(buf,"This room has (%d)%s in it.\n\r", count, argument);
    send_to_char(buf,ch);
    return;
}
