Finding text

ID:169902 Apr 15 2005, 11:50 am
DragonMasterGod	How do I make it so if I make a list called cuwords var/cuwords = list("Dick","Douche") // more cuss words that if the person enters a name with one of those words in it (For ex. "aDouche" "Douchecock") it makes them repeat their name process? Also I would like to know how to count the length of text. But please help with the list thing.

DragonMasterGod	I try to use the while(cuwords.Find(usr.names)) but the Find is not an identified var.

XxDragonFlarexX	For the finding out the length, do this... if(length(name)<=16)

var/list/words = list("Swearword1","Swearword2","Swearword3")
var/myname = input("What do you want to be called?") as text
if(myname)
    for(var/x in words)
        if(!findtext(myname,x)) //if we didn't find anything from the words list in "myname"...
              src.name = myname //set the name
