Code:
            src << mb_msgout("\n[worldname]\nLast Compile: 07-02-12 @ 09:00 PM EST")
            src.name=input("Name:", "DragonBall Epic Login") as text
            if(src.TextAbuseCheck(name))
                src << mb_msgout("{YYour name must not start or end with a space nor can it be blank!{x")
                del(src)
            if(fexists("database/players/[name]/data.sav"))
                var/savefile/F=new("database/players/[name]/data.sav")
                var/gotit
                F["Password"]>>gotit
                var/pass=input("Password:", "DragonBall Epic Login") as text
                if(pass==gotit)
                    Read(F)
                    src.ProcessLogin()
                else
                    src << mb_msgout("{YIncorrect password!{x")
                    del(src)


Problem description:

Currently I'm working on a MUD for telnet and the input for some reason is case sensitive when looking for a file name how can i fix this?

for example if i have a character that exsists named ThunderZ

if i type thunderz it will ask me to create a new character.

If you always create and search for the file with the ckey+lowercase version of the name, you should be able to avoid that:

"database/players/[ckey(lowertext(name))]/data.sav"
