check if string is empty

[lifted86 10]

_string = "";

is there anyway i can check if _string == ""?

Ive tried _string == "" and isNil("_string") cant seem to get these to work.

_string == "" 

Didn't work? Weird.

You could use kronzky's string manipulation and count the letters

http://kronzky.info/snippets/strings/KRON_Strings.zip

_str="abcdefg";
_len=[_str] call KRON_StrLen;
_len1=format['StrLen: ["%1"] => %2',_str,_len];	// returns '7'

_string = "";

if (isNil _string) then {player sidechat "nil string"};

if (_string=="") then {player sidechat "emptyQuotes string"};

_string = "";

This should work. Is _string being checked outside its scope? Try declaring it as a private variable. e.g: private ["_string"]

yeah

_string == "";

this worked, i was checking the wrong variable. :p
