Is there any way to search for a specific value inside of a string? In my blueprint, I’m having it detect whether a combo is used by adding the keys pressed to a string and then searching the string to see if it contains the correct keys. The issue with this seems to be that Find/Get Substring only seem to look at whether the string contains the requested value. For example:
If I were to enter “1234”, the combo works fine, however if I were to enter “11234”, it still works as if I had put in the right code. I thought that the ‘length’ parameter of Get Substring would have something to do with this, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Not sure why I got downvoted… If you want to compare the string then just don’t bother with substring and get substring nodes. Just use the equals(string) node.
Duh, of course that’s the solution- it was so obvious, I just got some serious tunnelvision and didn’t see it; thanks for the help!

It’s even easier. Just use “Contains” node, it does exactly that.
tehhax’s answer alone is not enough. But if you’d check this string after every button press, then you can also use the node “Right” which gives back the most right # chars in the string. And if you say you’d get the right 4 chars, then you could check if it is equal to “1234”.
