& pmatch() Syntax: pmatch(<string>) Given the partial name of a player, it returns that player's dbref number. This partial name completion works identically to the partial name completion of the page command - i.e. it first attempts to match the normal names of all players (connected or not), and if that fails, it tries to match the partial names of connected players. If no player is matched, it returns "#-1". If more than one match is possible for a partial name, it returns "#- 2". The function will also accept *<player> or #<db#>. If given a non- player dbref #, pmatch() will return #-1. See Also: num(), locate()
