The startsWith function is not working properly about sleepy-discord HOT 9 CLOSED

I'll update the library do use a std::string, since everything else in my library uses std::string, it should be a very simple change.

This isn't a bug or an issue with startsWith, you just need to use a char*. It's better to use a std::string with the function std::string::data(). For example

std::string startMessage = "ssssss";
if (message.startsWith(startMessage.data())) {
    //code
}

However, I'm most likely going to rewrite this function to use a std::string instead as this is most likely a function made when this library was a c library.

also you should learn the difference between a char and a char*. No offense because you are new to this, just saying that it's something you should know because it's will be very good to know when working with C++.

then your example is incorrect

#include "sleepy_discord/websocketpp_websocket.h"

class myClientClass : public SleepyDiscord::DiscordClient {
public:
	using SleepyDiscord::DiscordClient::DiscordClient;
	void onMessage(SleepyDiscord::Message message) {
		if (message.startsWith("whcg hello"))
			sendMessage(message.channelID, "Hello " + message.author.username);
	}
};

int main() {
	myClientClass client("token", 2);
	client.run();
}

No, it's correct. Because that is a char* or a string literal. Or are you saying that you can't get the example to compile?

yes i tried but did not work

from sleepy-discord.

well I'm going to guess that you used a char, correct? If so, that would make sense why it wouldn't work, it's expecting a pointer to a array of chars. If you are talking about the example, can you give me the error with the error code and line number?

I try to do as you do, but it does not work.

message.h

bool startsWith(char* test);

Oh I see, I made a mistake since std::string::data() returns a const char* instead of a char*. I'm not sure that this will work but do something like const_cast<char*>(startMessage.c_str())

thanks I am new to c ++ and I think that I can learn by writing a simple bot in the discord
