Help Please with my code

[ATC_ROO]

I use the following code to switch channels in Teamspeak and it works flawlessly.

/*Start Channel Switch */
    if (NULL == hSimConnect) StartSimConnect();
        uint64 channelId = 0;
		snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f", GetCom1());
	char *chpath[] = {"Air Traffic Control", FREQ, ""}; // Channel Structure
        anyID myId = 0;
        // Get the ID from the name
		        if (ts3Functions.getChannelIDFromChannelNames(serverConnectionHandlerID, chpath, &channelId) == ERROR_ok && channelId > 0) {
            ts3Functions.getClientID(serverConnectionHandlerID, &myId);
            if (myId == clientID)
                {
                uint64 uiMyChannel = 0;
			ts3Functions.getChannelOfClient(serverConnectionHandlerID, myId, &uiMyChannel);
                if (uiMyChannel != channelId) ts3Functions.requestClientMove(serverConnectionHandlerID, myId, channelId, "", NULL);
                }
        
        }
        /* End Channel Switch */

But.....
I would like to add text after the frequency which I have pulled from my program.

For instance at the moment if a channel is named "123.450" and FREQ = 123.450 I will move channels.

But if my channel is named "123.450 ATC Tower" I will not move.

I'm sure this is simple but I've tried everything I can think of and can't find the solution.

All help is appreciated.

You're right it's simple and you've everything you need right there already:

snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f", GetCom1());
char *chpath[] = {"Air Traffic Control", FREQ, ""}; // Channel Structure

All it needs is a change in the first line of the code I quoted above.

Thank you for the reply Chris.
Below is some of what I have tried and normally get a buffer error.

snprintf(FREQ, """%3.3f", GetCom1());
snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f""", GetCom1());
snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f", GetCom1(),"");
snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f","", GetCom1());
snprintf(FREQ, "\"""3.3f\", GetCom1());

Just in fantasy now I'm sprintf:
you told me you want me to return 3.3 float, and on input you give me "123.450 ATC Tower"
That means you want me to split that string and give you first float I stumbled on in it^.
But if you want to reassemble to channel name again, and you use my return value, it will not be the channel name anymore now will it?

So if you ask teamspeak3 to give you channelId of 123.450 you will
- get error
- get switched to a different channel that is called "123.450" instead "123.450 ATC Tower"

perhaps I would focus also on
variable chpath

I'm guessing you are trying to get that FREQ for something outside that snippet you shared here ;-)

Thank you for your reply Tomas, but I'm still feeling as stupid as... :?

I understand if I were to use snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f ATC Tower",GetCom1()); it would work.
or using something like
snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f %3.3f",GetCom1(), GetCom2()); means I could name a channel with 2 different variables which also works.

But I don't get how I can include the 2nd variable when I don't know what it will be?

snprintf(FREQ, "%3.3f %s",GetCom1(), WHAT WOULD I PUT HERE?);

The idea is anybody could potentially name a channel anything as long as FREQ is first in the channel name.
ie 123.450 ATC Tower or 123.450 Ground or 123.450 Approach etc etc.

Well you'd need to know how they would want to name the channel (that is the user defined part of the channel name). In case you do know the user supplied part of the channel name it would be as simple as changing the snprintf to

snprintf("%3.3f %s", GetCom1(), getUserSuppliedChannelName());

I had assumed you'd create the channel in your code in the first place, be it in the plugin or in query from the server part.

If you don't then one way that quickly comes to mind without thinking about it, would be to get the list of channels below the desired main channel (which you have hardcoded to be "Air Traffic Control") and loop through all the channels finding the one that starts with your desired frequency. Of course each frequency would have to be unique and only used once, as you'd probably only ever use the first subchannel with the desired frequency.

Afraid not.
I have no way of knowing what the channel name would be due to the amount of different variations that it could be.
For example think of the number of airports there are around the world.
Then each airport will have at least three different divisions, Approach, Tower and Ground for instance.

Also if the plugin was used by a non english speaking group the name would then be in a different Language.

I was hoping that my code could look at the channel name and if FREQ was anywhere within that channel name then it could switch.

That sounds like exactly what I'd like to do but I have no idea how to do it?
