Tabcomplete does not work when past the first word about cuberite HOT 1 CLOSED

After a hour puzzling, I puzzled it out.

At line 2372 of source/World.cpp:

if (NoCaseCompare((*itr)->GetName().substr(0, a_Text.length()), a_Text) != 0)

Say, GetName() returns cheesedummy10 and a_Text was che (2 chars) [0,1,2]
The comparison returns true as - in a_Text, the length 0 to 3 (substr(0, a_Text.length()) which is che is in cheesedummy10. Hooray.

However. If a_Text was hello che (8 chars) [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]
The comparison returns false as - substring 0 - 9 is hello che which is not in cheesedummy10

How to fix. Iterate the start position of the substring search, so:

if substr(0, a_Text.length()) is false do //hello che
if substr(1, a_Text.length()) //ello che
...
if substr(6, a_Text.length()) //che - yay!

Yay, the substring matches the original. Not sure how the code looks for multiple matches (che will appear in both cheesedummy10 and cheese) but don't forget to replace che in the original string with the full player name.

Presumably this is the same for Plugin Commands matches at line 1342 of source/PluginManager.cpp.

Evidently, I don't want to try my hand at iterators so I hope this info will motivate someone with moar coding XPs to do it. :P
