Checking for two separate words in a text field

I'm trying to implement a command input window in my game (pretty much like debug console functions in certain PC games) and I'm currently having trouble regarding a certain function.

Say I want to spawn a coin worth 5 gold, I'd create an event where if when you press "RETURN" and the text displayed is ".spawncoin5g" then it'll spawn one of that object, that's all working fine.

But if I want to spawn 10 of those with just one command like ".spawncoin5g 10" how can I code it so that the system checks for two separate words?

Any help is much appreciated.

1) Start by isolating the string beginning with ".spawncoin5g":

substring = Right(theOriginalString, Len(theOriginalString)+ 1 - Find(".spawncoin5g", theOriginalString))

2) Now look at the second token, if any:

+ NumTokens(substring, " ") > 1

-> spawnnumber = int(GetToken(substring, 2, " "))

+ Else

-> spawnnumber = 1

substring and spawnnumber are variables, of course.

Much thanks for the help tulamide, I suspected it had to do with substrings but I didn't know how exactly to use them.

I'll try and play around with it later with your guide and hopefully I'll be able to get it to work. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
