In a sick sick way I love fixing little code problems...
today for example I needed to search through a text file and find this line...

"Log: Browse: DM-jake2?BonusVehicles=false?Game=XGame.xDeathMatch?
Mutator=XGame.MutQuadJump,UnrealGame.MutBerserk,Watcher.Watcher?
bAutoNumBots=False?NumBots=15?SpectatorOnly=1?Name=Player?Class=Engine.Pawn?
Character=Jakob?team=255"

this line changes after every match of UT but the beginning part (and the basic structure) of the line always remains the same

"Log: Browse: DM-" (always starts like this)

So heres the problem... youve got lots of other array elements some of which also start
"Log: Browse:"

I want to find this particular line, and get only one piece of information out of it, the number of bots playing, in this case
"NumBots=15"

how to do it...
well, I dont know the proper way, but this is how I did it :)

for(int i=0; i < file.length; i++){ //i cant include the "is less than" symbol *fixed now*

String temp = file[i]; //copys this particular line of the text file into a temporary string
int templength = temp.length(); //finds out the length of this string (because if its under 13 we will have problems later as I attempt to access the 13th char)

if (templength>13){
char temp1 = file[i].charAt(0); // L (Log:)
char temp2 = file[i].charAt(5); // B (Browse:)
char temp3 = file[i].charAt(13); // D (DM-) //have we got letters in the right place?

if ((temp1 == 'L') && (temp2 == 'B') && (temp3 == 'D')){ //do these letters match, is this our line?
String cutline[] = split(file[i], '?'); //cut the line into seperate array elements using the ?'s as cut markers
println (cutline[5]); //using this method numbots is always element 5
}
}
}


p.s. Ive just made the number of bots a usable number. It may seem simple but it took me a while to see the simplness...
String justbotnumber[]= split(cutline[5], '='); //split string into 2 at the equals
int botnumber = int(justbotnumber[1]); //int that string!
println(botnumber);
